an explosion on board and she burned in the St. Mary's River near Point aux Pins on 30 June 1901 resulting in $30,000 damages. She was bought jointly by Hanna Coal and Ogdensburg Coal and Towing in October 1901. They had her cut down and rebuilt as a bulk carrier, including a new boiler, at Buffalo in 1902. The intention was to use her as a collier. Her consort barge broke loose in a gale while on passage from Buffalo to Ogdensburg New York on 16 December 1902. It appears that the Ogdensburg Coal and Towing Co. became her sole owner in 1905. She was caulked in 1910 and repaired in 1915. She was chartered by Montreal Transportation Co. 1917-18 (from Oswego Navigation Co. under the name AVON) to move coal. In September 1917 she was aground above the Lachine Rapids in the St. Lawrence. In 1919 Montreal Transportation Co. bought her from Oswego Navigation as part of an $186,000 package with NICARAGUA, JEREMIAH GODFREY and MELVIN S. BACON. Both Oswego Navigation and Montreal Transportation Co. were controlled by R.M. Wolvin at the time. Montreal Transportation Co. rebuilt her in 1919 with a "new to her" 1908 boiler and 1877 engine. They renamed her STORMOUNT (2). On 29 April 1920 she struck the upper gates of Lock 3 in the Welland Canal and sustained minimal damage. There was, however, $7,500 damage to the canal gates and bank. She foundered and was a constructive total loss in the Williamsburg Canals on 4 November 1920 while en route from Port Colborne Ontario to Montreal with a cargo of wheat. She was raised, towed to Kingston and then abandoned in the Cataraqui River. She burned on 23 November 1936. Her remains were towed out by Sin-Mac and scuttled in Lake Ontario off the head of Wolfe Island on 30 September 1937. Stormount County was in Eastern Ontario adjacent to Glengarry County where the McLennan boys grew up. Montreal Transportation Co. Annual Directors' Report 1920; Montreal Transportation Co.
