This long active sailing ship was one of the once famous fleet of passenger vessels which maintained a regular service between Philadelphia and Liverpool under the flag of the Cope Line, which was established by Thomas P. Cope in 1822. The Wyoming, Tuscarora, Tonawanda and Thomas P. Cope were sister ships of the Wyoming, all of which, as well as earlier vessels of the line, were built at Philadelphia.
