Built at a cost of $25,000, the Comet was not a success. The first trip to Linwood and back took 33 hours and was hampered by low water, swift current and rocks. After only a few trips, the Comet was abandoned in the river several hundred yards downriver from here.

Other boats which operated on the Green in that period included the power launch Teddy R which was made for pleasure excursions up and down the river, and a stern wheeler, the Sunbeam which was used until it broke down upriver from here at Big Piney, Wyoming. Afterwards, the Sunbeam was hauled to Fremont Lake and used as a pleasure boat for many years.
