MAMIE was another one of the barges built for the Prescott Elevator Co. Ltd. That firm was wound up and by 1904 her owner was the St. Lawrence Terminal Co. Ltd. In 1907 she was bought by Montreal Transportation Co. for $4,000 to be a harbour lighter at Montreal and was chartered to the Montreal Warehouse Co. in which the McLennans had an interest. She was repaired in 1908 and 1916-17 and then sold to Donnelly Salvage of Kingston in 1921 as part of a $9,000 package along with the tug MARY. Her registration was changed on 6 April 1921. Donnelly sold her to Sincennes-McNaughton in 1929 and then she went to Sin-Mac until 1948. All the barges of the Prescott Elevator Company carried the first names of women.

Capacity 10,000 bushels. Built at Ste.-Genevieve-de-Batiscan Quebec by Artemis Dunning in 1868. 1884 rated B1. Duguld McPhee of Kingston (St. Lawrence & Chicago Forwarding Co.) was the owner of MARY ANNE GRANT beginning in at least 1874. She was repaired in 1881 and then came to Montreal Transportation Co. when they took over St. Lawrence and Chicago Forwarding Co. She was sunk "below the bridge" (i.e. north of the Kingston Ontario "penny bridge") and later raised in June 1884. She was then, according to the Whig, going to be rebuilt as a steamer. That did not happen. She apparently did not fit out in 1885-86 and was not in the Montreal Transportation Co. fleet list published in the Marine Record on 7 April 1887. Broken up. Her registry was closed on 11 December 1899. 154
