Built by G. Tait at Montreal 1870. Her 1884 listing gave no insurance rating and showed her as owned by St. Lawrence & Chicago Forwarding Co. although that company no longer existed. She presumably came to Montreal Transportation Co. in 1883. Directory of the Marine Interests of the Great Lakes 1884. 10 ARTHUR river barge (C 103347). 1883-1884. 185.98 tons gross, 178.76 tons register, 104.4'. Capacity 14,000 bushels. Built at Quebec City by Cantin in 1873. No masts. Round stern. 1874 rated 1 out of a possible 3 and valued at $6,800. 1878 rated 1 and valued at $5,000. 1884 rated B1. ARTHUR was a Montreal Elevating & Warehousing Co. barge in 1874-77. In 1878-83 she was owned by the St. Lawrence & Chicago Forwarding Co. although she was included in Montreal Transportation Co. tows on many occasions. ARTHUR was one of seven St. Lawrence and Chicago Forwarding Co. barges involved when the steamer BOHEMIAN (1,139 tons register) broke the gate of Lock Two in the Lachine Canal in 1880. She came to Montreal Transportation Co. when they took over St. Lawrence and Chicago Forwarding Co. but apparently did not fit out for Montreal Transportation Co. in 1885 or 1886. By 1892 she had been sold to J. Gagnon of St. Henri Quebec and was renamed BALMORAL in 1894. In 1896 she struck a rock in the St. Lawrence, sank and was then raised. Her rudder was reported as defective in 1897. Gagnon still owned her in the 1915 List of Shipping but she had possibly already been broken up by then. She was removed from the register on 26 August 1916. J.
