The ships of the St. Lawrence & Chicago Steam Navigation Company, Ltd. were as follows: ALGONQUIN (Br. 95051) built at Glasgow by Napier, Shanks and Bell (#40). Dimen- sions: 245 x 40x21. This ship had come to the Great Lakes in the Nineties after having been bulkheaded through the then small St. Lawrence Canals, and was one of the first British-built cannalers to come to Canada. ALGONQUIN remained in the fleet until 1913 when sold to Port Colborne & St. Lawrence SS. Co. She went to salt water in 1916 and was immediately sold to American interests. (US. 214637) This ship had the questionable distinction of being the first U.S. ship to be lost by enemy action in World War I, having been torpedoed off the Scilly Isles on March 12, 1917.
