The Atlanta (Official number 106823) was built in 1891 in Cleveland, Ohio, by the Cleveland Dry Dock Company as a passenger and package freight vessel.
She was built for the Goodrich Transportation Company of Kenosha, Wisconsin.
The ship had an overall length of 220 feet (67 m) and  was 200 feet (61 m) long between perpendiculars.
The hull was 32.2 feet (9.8 m) wide and was 22.6 feet (6.9 m) deep.
The ship had a gross tonnage of 1129.17 tons and a net tonnage of 958.06 tons.
The Atlanta was equipped with a 900-horsepower fore and aft compound steam engine; the steam for the engine was provided by two Scotch marine boilers.

The Atlanta was launched on April 25, 1891.
The ship was used to transport passengers and package freight across Lake Michigan.
The Atlanta regularly made trips to Chicago, Illinois; Muskegon, Michigan; and Grand Haven, Michigan.
The ship ran these trips in the shipping season between March and December before it was laid up for the winter.
In 1895 the Atlanta's two Scotch boilers were replaced with new ones.
The new boilers were located further forward inside the hull, this brought the stern 20 inches (51 cm) out of the water.
The ship also received a new and wider afterbody.
The Atlanta was later put on Wisconsin's winter fleet, and it visited ports on Lake Michigan from Chicago to Green Bay and Marinette, Wisconsin.
