Built for World War I service, the ship was too large to fit through the Welland Canal. This was solved by cutting the in half, and towing it across Lake Ontario.
During a snowstorm on December 3, 1918 the bow half sunk. The stern half was mated with a new bow, and renamed the Mapledawn, which later sunk in Lake Huron.
