The Mississagi is a lake freighter launched in 1943. Originally she was powered by a triple-expansion steam engine. In 1985 her steam engines were replaced by a diesel engine.

She was built to a design from the United States Maritime Commission. She had fifteen sister ships, also built to the Maritime Commission's design, known colloquially as "Maritimers".

The vessel was originally commissioned as the Hill Annex. When she was acquired by the Pittsburgh Steamship Company in July 1943 she was rechristended the George A. Sloan. She was bought by the Bradley Transportation Company in 1966, which converted her to a self-unloading bulk carrier. In 1967 Bradley Transportation was purchased by US Steel, which also owned Pittsburgh Steamship, which returned the George A. Sloan to Pittsburgh fleet.
