She was transferred to Canadian registry in 1913 at the same time as the barge MALTA (renamed THUNDER BAY) by James Whalen and was operated by the Canadian Northwest Steamship Co. Her name was changed when she came to Canadian registry. She frequently towed a consort barge. According to Scanner, PAIPOONGE's first Canadian cargo was probably grain from Fort William Ontario to Goderich Ontario. She came to Montreal Transportation Co. ownership when they took over Canadian Northwest Steamships on 13 April 1917. She received new boilers in 1918. On 9 October 1918 she was sold to Angel B. Lagueruela of Havana Cuba for $400,000 (deposit $50,000). The steamer WESTERIAN and barge THUNDER BAY were sold to Lagueruela at the same time. It is unclear whether Lagueruela represented sugar interests or if he was a broker. PAIPOONGE's Canadian registry was closed on 17 October 1918. She was then cut in two at Collingwood for passage through the St. Lawrence canals in order to reach salt water. Her buyer got into difficulty and the pieces were tied up at Port Huron Michigan. The bow and stern were then resold to Raymond van Hemelryck who planned to reattach them to each other in December 1918-February 1919. He then also got into difficulty, so the pieces were put up for auction at Port Huron Michigan on 7 March 1919. Montreal Transportation Co. and Collingwood Shipbuilding (H.B. Smith) jointly bought them back for $20,000. She was to be offered back to van Hemelryck for $100,000 on condition that he pay all outstanding claims against the barge THUNDER BAY. That did not happen. In 1919 PAIPOONGE was sold to Knox Bros. Lumber of Montreal for $125,000. Her pieces were towed to salt water in October-November 1919 and she was re-assembled as an ocean-going steamer at Montreal in 1920. Marcil, on the other hand, stated that her 1918 sale and 1920 re-assembly were both under the ownership of Charles A. Barnard K.C., who was Montreal Transportation Co.'s counsel and also a member of the Canada Steamship Lines syndicate. In 1921 her owner was listed in Lloyd's Register of Shipping as Victor W. Scott of Montreal. He was the Montreal manager of the Home Bank and took the ship as security on loans. The ship grounded and had a fire en route from Sydney Nova Scotia to New York City. Her hull was reported to be in bad condition when she arrived at New York. Fraser-Brace refitted her in 1921 and she was repaired at Newport News Virginia in 1922 due to hull leaks. In 1923-24 her owner was the British Dominion Holding & Investment Co. Ltd. and, as already stated, she was part of the assets of the by then defunct Home Bank of Canada. By that time she was fitted with wireless. Reportedly sold for scrap on 11 July 1924, she actually saw continued service under the Danish flag and was renamed DORTE JENSEN, owner A/S B/S Dorte Jensen 70
