==Career==
She was built as the lake freighter ''Frank A. Augsbury'' for the George Hall Coal Company by Fraser, Brace, Ltd., of Trois-Rivières, Quebec and launched on 21 October 1922. ''Frank A. Augsbury'' was and by with draft of powered by a 1,400 horsepower triple expansion steam engine fired by two Scotch marine boilers burning coal.〔 She was sold to Canada Steamship Lines in 1927 and renamed ''Granby''. She was taken over by the Ministry of War Transport and managed during the Second World War by France, Fenwick and Company.
On 28 June 1945 ''Granby'' collided with the British off the West Goodwins, and was holed aft above the waterline. ''Granby'' was taken to the Downs, and on 2 July was towed to Gravesend by the tugboats ''Empire Larch'' and ''Empire Mary''. On 3 August she left Gravesend under tow and was laid up in the River Blackwater. She was sold to the Panamanian firm Cia Naviera Parita S.A. in 1948 and renamed ''Parita II'', sailing for them until 1951, when she was acquired by the Italian shipping company Lloyd Mediterraneo S.p.A. di Nav., and renamed ''Valbruna''.〔 In 1952 she was bought by the successor company of her original owners, now trading as the Hall Corporation of Canada, Ltd., and returned to Canada under the name ''Lawrencecliffe Hall''. She was sold again in 1955, this time to the Federal Commerce & Navigation Co., Ltd, who renamed her ''Federal Explorer''.〔
Federal Commerce and Navigation used her as a supply ship to communities on the Canadian Arctic seaboard, twice chartering her to the Clarke Steamship Company in 1956, and using her to open the Federal Intercoastal Line in 1957. The ''Federal Explorer'', under her master, Captain Simon Bouchard, delivered parts for new nickel mill under construction in Rankin Inlet in 1956 and also delivered cargoes of fuel oil to Royal Canadian Air Force stations in the Arctic. In 1958 she carried nickel concentrates to Churchill, Manitoba for shipment by rail to Fort Saskatchewan, and then delivered a cargo of grain from Churchill to Montreal in late October.〔
