 The company eventually lost interest in the steamboat as a money-making attraction and placed her in a tidal lagoon on the inner side of their landing at Kingston Point, New York.For many years Day Line kept "Clermont" in presentable condition, but as their business and profits slowed during the Great Depression, they voted to stop maintaining her; "Clermont" was eventually broken up for scrap in 1936, 27 years after her launching.
