The Calvin Co. used AUGUSTUS in the timber trade to at least 1898. She was bought by Montreal Transportation Co., docked and caulked in 1902 and was rebuilt in 1906. She needed repairs after striking a rock near Prescott Ontario on 15 August 1909 and was then repaired and caulked again in 1912 probably after being aground at Salmon Point in Prince Edward County. At that time Calvins lightered [see definitions] her load of coal and pulled her off. Montreal Transportation Co. got a 1/3 discount on the $510 bill because of the close relationship between the two firms. She was sold to A.A. Larocque for $7,500. Her registry was transferred on 4 March 1919. In 1920 her owner was the Atlas Transportation Co. SincennesMcNaughton (that became Sin-Mac in 1929) directly owned her again from 1921 to at least 1934. She was abandoned at Portsmouth Ontario and sank on 15 November 1937 while en route to be scuttled off Snake Island (in Lake Ontario 4 miles south of Kingston) during a cleanup of the harbour. Alphonse Arsene Larocque (1865-1936) was managing director of SincennesMcNaughton tugs. He bought control of the firm in 1917. SincennesMcNaughton owned Consolidated Sand Co., Touzin Sand and Atlas Transportation as well as other companies. Larocque became a director of the Bank of Hochelaga and then president of the Montreal Dry dock and Ship Repair Co. In 1919 he bought AUGUSTUS and ten smaller Montreal Transportation Co. barges (CONDOR, DAKOTA, DORCHESTER, DUNMORE, KINGSTON, LAPWING, MUSKOKA, SELKIRK, VALENCIA and WINNIPEG).
