Remarks: She left the Clyde 14th September 1907 and after discharging a cargo of drain pipes, was cut in half at Davie Shipyard, Levis, towed to Buffalo Dry Dock and re
joined. She was reduced to cargo only in 1965 and was then destined for the breakers.
However she was saved that fate and was set up as a static museum ship at Tower Marina in Douglas, Michigan after being purchased in 1967 by R J Peterson of Douglas Michigan. The Petersons looked after the ship since then until 2011 when she was purchased by another body who have taken her back to her homeport of Port McNicoll.
