The Riverton Yacht Club is the oldest club on the Delaware River. Steamer service by the Warner, the Twilight and the Columbia steamboats earned them the nickname "The Three Musketeers" for their  numerous trips on the Delaware River.

Steamer service, except for the Wilson line, essentially disappeared on the Delaware by 1922.
