Florence was built in 1926 by Franklin G. Post along the Mystic River and was used as a dragger in Long Island Sound.

In 1982 Florence was acquired by Mystic Seaport and completely restored to her original configuration.

Florence is the only working dragger in a museum collection.

Florence is now used to carry students to collect marine biology specimens from Fishers Island Sound.
