The Salaberry, also known as the Quinte Queen starting in 1910, was built in 1902 at Valleyfield, Quebec. It had an official number of 111665 and was powered by a screw propulsion system, indicating the use of a propeller for its movement. The steamship had a gross tonnage of 222, reflecting its carrying capacity.
The Salaberry underwent a significant rebuild, which took place in Deseronto, Ontario, Canada in 1910. Following the rebuild, it acquired a new official number of 111665. The dimensions of the vessel were recorded as 100 feet in length, 21 feet in width, and it had a depth of 5 feet. This rebuild likely involved substantial modifications or enhancements to the steamship.
The ownership history of the Salaberry is partially known. The initial owner is unknown, but it was later owned by the Lehigh Portland Cement Co. in Belleville in 1907. In 1912, ownership was transferred to the Belle Isle Park Co. in Ottawa. The Salaberry was constructed by N. Sicotte in Valleyfield, Quebec in 1902. Its engine, measuring 9×12, was manufactured by Cantin in Montreal.
The steamship was licensed to carry 235 passengers in 1914, indicating its capacity for passenger transportation. However, in 1916, the Salaberry was offered for sale but received no bids. As a result, it was ultimately broken up.
