Construction and design
Regulator, a wooden-hulled sidewheel steamboat, was built for Massachusetts parties at Portland, Maine, in the newly established shipyard of W. & A. Curtis. She was launched on 28 May 1864, and completed the following August.
Regulator was 153 feet (47 m) in length, with a beam of 26 feet (7.9 m), hold depth of 8 feet (2.4 m) and draft of 5 feet (1.5 m). Her tonnage was 430. She was powered by a steam engine of unknown type, built by the Portland Company of that city. The Portland Daily Press described her as a "beautiful little craft".
