ALBINA was repaired and caulked in 1894. In 1897-1907, her owner was George T. Benson of Montreal who was probably a Montreal Transportation Co. agent, or, in 1897 was Reid & Co. of Montreal, but either way she continually showed up in Montreal Transportation Co. corporate minutes as if owned by them. She was eventually wrecked on Glassford's Shoal below the Galops Rapids in the St. Lawrence River and was removed from the register on 26 February 1907.

Capacity 14,000 bushels. Built at Quebec City by A. Cantin in 1873. 1874 rated 1 out of a possible 3 and valued at $6,800. In 1878, she was rated 1 and valued at $5,000. In 1884 she was rated B1. This barge was in a Montreal Transportation Co. tow in 1873. In 1874 her owner was given as "Elevating Co." (the Montreal Elevating and Warehousing Co.?). Her 1877 owner was T. McCarthy of Prescott Ontario. His occupation was given as a brewer. The Grenville Brewery in Prescott was owned by John McCarthy (1827-93), so the initial "T" might be incorrect, or possibly they were two different men both involved in the family business. ALFRED's ownership was transferred to St. Lawrence & Chicago Forwarding by 1879, then to Montreal Transportation Co. in 1883 when they took over the firm. Montreal Transportation Co. rebuilt her in 1883-84 but she was not in the published 1887 Montreal Transportation Co. fleet list. In 1895 her owner was Joseph Kerr of Farran's Point Ontario. She was broken up and was removed from the register on 18 March 1897. J.
