It was built with fine lines and a clean run that foretold of fair speed. This arrangement lasted only one season. The vessel was sold in early 1894 and reenrolled at Port Huron, Michigan with J.W. Squires as managing owner and master. J.W. Squires remained managing owner until 1907 when he was replaced by Richard F. Squires. On that day, the vessel reportedly foundered thirteen miles northwest of Alpena, Michigan with a cargo of lumber.
Some sources indicate, however, that the vessel ran into a stone jetty in Alpena Harbor and sank.
The wreckage has not been identified.
