Muir of Montreal and her 1899 owner was A. Lomer & Co. of Montreal. She was bought by the Canadian Forwarding and Export Co. of Montreal by 1901. In 1903 she was being operated by J. Donnelly of Kingston Ontario. Weddell Dredging of Trenton Ontario bought her by 1910 and rebuilt her at Port Dalhousie Ontario in 1912. She was renamed on 26 August 1912 and her name was apparently shortened on 26 March 1913. Montreal Transportation Co. paid $15,000 for her in 1917. She was rebuilt again by Davie Dry Dock of Lauzon Quebec in 1918. Canada Steamship Lines became her owner in 1921 as part of the final winding up of the Montreal Transportation Co. fleet. She was sold to Wallaceburg Sand and Gravel (J.T. Reid?) in 1924 but was abandoned in Otter Creek near Wallaceburg Ontario in 1925. Her engine was taken out to be put into JEAN FRASER (C 116490, 99 tons gross) built in 1926. WEAVER's registry was cancelled on 7 December 1925. Montreal Transportation Co.

After 1865: 87 gross and 17 tons register, 92.6'. Built by A. Cantin (Thomas said by Auger) at Montreal in 1851. 1864 rated Æ and valued at $9,000. 1866-69 rated A1 and still valued at $9,000. 1874 rated A2 and valued at $7,000. IDA's first owner was Captain George Smith of Montreal. She operated in the Kingston-Montreal towing trade in the fall of 1851. Her 1860 owner was S. Smith of Montreal and her 1863-64 owner was McNaughton & Co. of Sorel Canada East. She burned at Como Canada East (also reported as on the Lake of Two Mountains about five miles above the St. Ann's Lock, which amounts to roughly the same thing) on 29 May 1865. Owned by Auger at the time of the fire, she was under charter to the Montreal and Ottawa Forwarding Co. She was rebuilt by Auger at Montreal in 1865 and presumably given her official number at that point. She was renamed RELIEF. According to Mills, Auger owned her at least 1865-77 although she was usually chartered out to other operators. 72
