History
George John Mercier was born in Charleston, South Carolina. In the early 1880s he moved to Florida and worked as a steamboat captain on the St. Johns River and for the Indian River Steamship Co. By 1894, he began plying inland rivers as the railroad extension had reduced the demand for intracoastal steamers. Moving to Miami in 1901, he worked in the charter boat business. Mercier died in Miami in 1911.
