                   A fire of unknown origin ignited the Grand Trunk
                grain elevator at Port Huron and the flames, fanned
                by a high west wind, spread to the barge MAITLAND which was
                moored at the elevator wharf unloading her cargo of barley
                from Ft. William, Ont. Two tugs managed to get lines aboard
                her and towed her to a nearby coal dock where the fire was
                put out.  She was abandoned to the underwriters the next
                day. Her burned hull was sold Canadian, to James Playfair;
                rebuilt and renamed GLENBOGIE. Scrapped in 1966

                   Her 1902 launch date was delayed as the WILKESBARRE
                was occupying the dock having large repairs done after
                going aground on Caribou Island, Lake Superior. She was
                finally launched July 10, 1902.

                   The last consort to be built.
