On December 9, 1963 the last mail boat in the U.S. made it’s final trip. Ladd's Mail Boat "Santiva" operated from Fort Meyers, Florida by Captain Palmer Ladd of Ladd Boat Line was the last in a series of vessels to provide water-borne mail service to Captiva and Sanibel Islands. The Santiva followed the Dixie, the Gladys, the stern-wheelers Success and Grey Eagle, and numerous sailing vessels that brought ice, fresh meat, livestock, and building materials to the islands. On the return trips the vessels carried away fresh produce including prized Sanibel tomatoes. Since 1938 the mail route was combined with a sightseeing tour .
