Glen Line Ltd and renamed F.P. JONES

In 1920, the vessel changed hands and was acquired by Glen Line Ltd, a prominent shipping company operating out of Toronto. Renamed F.P. JONES, the freighter continued to serve the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence trade routes, with a focus on bulk cargo such as grain and coal. This era marked a transitional phase for the ship as it adapted to new trade demands under different management. During this time, the F.P. JONES contributed to the burgeoning Canadian maritime economy, facilitating trade between inland ports and the Atlantic seaboard. Its reliable performance during this period cemented its reputation as a durable and versatile freighter.
