Did a little research to refresh my memory...yep, they used two.
Wolverine and Sable were converted from side wheel steamers.

Indeed, I have huge portfolios and things all dedicated to trying to figure out how you think. Soon I'm hoping to have enough info to pre-empt your questions so I'll just be able to post an answer for you to agree to.
