The Museum of Lake Minnetonka (MLM) is a nonprofit, all-volunteer organization based in Excelsior, Minnesota, which formed after splitting from the Minnesota Transportation Museum (MTM) in 2004.

From there the finished craft were transported to Excelsior via flatbed railcar and launched into Lake Minnetonka.

In 1905, TCRT commissioned naval architect Royal C. Moore of Wayzata, Minnesota to design each of these identical vessels to be 70' long, 14'10" wide, and draw 5.5' of water. Each would be powered by a single coal-fired boiler and triple-expansion steam engine, with a single 46" screw for propulsion.

Although the parts and materials for the express boats were initially prefabricated at Moore Boatworks in Wayzata, they were later sent to the TCRT streetcar workshop in south Minneapolis to be assembled.
