The steambarge John Randall was built in 1905 at Kingston, Ontario. Its official number was 117121. Constructed by Shelby & Youlden, the vessel was made of wood and had a length of 104.25 feet, a beam of 22.42 feet, and a depth of 6.25 feet. It had a gross tonnage of 194.
In 1907, the John Randall underwent a rebuilding process, resulting in a new tonnage of 133 gross tons and 53 registered tons.
Tragically, on November 17, 1920, the John Randall met its final fate. While en route from Oswego, New York, to Belleville, Ontario, the vessel broke in two and sank half a mile off Main Duck Island in Lake Ontario. Fortunately, the crew managed to escape the sinking ship.
