Capacity 12,000 bushels. Built at Portsmouth Ontario in 1864 by and for E. Berry. No masts. Round stern. 1866 rated 2 and valued at $2,000. 1874 rated 3 and valued at $1,000. E. Berry, her builder, was also a forwarder and was INTREPID's first owner. Montreal Transportation Co. bought her from the Kingston & Montreal Forwarding Co. She was apparently not active on the upper river in 1884 or 1885 and was not in the Montreal Transportation Co. fleet list published in the Marine Record in 1887. Therefore, she might not have still been in existence in 1895 even `though she was still in the Dominion register as owned by Montreal Transportation Co. Most of Berry's barges were named after desirable human qualities.

In 1877 IOWA was owned by Thomas Workman of Montreal. Between 1878 and 1883 she was owned by St. Lawrence & Chicago Forwarding and came to Montreal Transportation Co. when they took over that firm. She was in the coal trade out of Oswego New York in 1883. She was repaired in 1884 after going ashore the year before. In 1886 she was still leaking badly even after being recaulked at Oswego. She was rebuilt with a new deck in 1889, caulked in 1894 and rebuilt in 1901. She was sold to the Canadian Import Co. (Hackett managers) in 1911 for $2,500. Her 1912-23 owner was William Quarrier Stobo but she was probably out of service by 1921. Her registration was closed on 17 March 1924 as she was out of existence. 138
