This ship's first owners were Fairgrieve Brothers of Hamilton Ontario. Late in 1892 she broke open the gate of a Welland Canal lock, severely damaging Montreal Transportation Co.'s schooner barge MINNEDOSA in the lock below. She ran Prescott Ontario - Duluth Minnesota in the "Merchant's Line" 1897-98. She was ashore eight miles west of Whitefish Point in Lake Superior near Sault Ste. Marie on 10 November 1900. That year she had run Duluth - Montreal Duluth in a record 15 days 20 hours for the round trip. In 1906 she ran in the "Montreal and Lake Superior Line" jointly managed by F. Plummer, A.B. Mackay and J.B. Fairgrieve. Fairgrieve brothers owned her until late that year when they sold her to Lake Commerce Ltd. In 1907-12, she ran in the "Canadian Lake Line" managed by F. Plummer. Beginning in 1908 she had new managers, the Canadian Lake Transportation Co. They ran her as part of the "Canadian Interlake Line" 1912-13. On 28 May 1912, she lost her rudder in the rapids and as a result was in a collision near Morrisburg Ontario. In 1914, her manager was J.W. Norcross of the Canada Steamship Lines syndicate. In September of that year, she ran aground on Main Duck Island near Kingston. A year later, in September 1915, she was aground at Wilson New York (on Lake Ontario 6 km east of the Niagara River). She had a cargo of sodium nitrate. She was pulled off after being pumped out and lightered [see definitions]. Her 1915-17 managers were probably the Canadian Northwest Steamship Co. She beached near Niagara Ontario in September 1916 while on passage Montreal - lakehead [see definitions]. Lake Commerce Ltd was bought by Montreal Transportation Co. in 1917. She was laid up in Kingston from September to December 1917 and was aground in the Williamsburg canals (Rapid du Plat) on 10 July 1918. Although she was included in negotiations for sale to a Cuban owner in 1918, nothing came of it. She went to Canada Steamship Lines ownership in 1921 as part of the final winding up of the Montreal Transportation Co. fleet and was owned by them until 1925. She was aground at the head of the Galops Rapids in the St. Lawrence early in April 1922, was lightered [see definitions] and released 29 April. In 1925, she was laid up and then sold to Gulf Iron & Wrecking of Quebec City. They cut her down to a barge. She was sold in 1926 jointly to the Canadian Import Co. and the St. Lawrence Stevedoring Co. of Quebec City and was laid up about 1935. She was broken up at Montreal in 1947. 18
