History
In 1907, the Regina was built in Dumbarton, Scotland by A. McMillian & Son. The order was placed by C.H.F. Plummer of Montreal, Quebec. In 1911 ownership was transferred to the Canadian Lake Transportation Company and in 1912 it was transferred to the Canadian Steamship Lines Incorporated.
The early years of the Regina are clouded and contains little recorded information. There was little interest for the ship until 1913, when it was caught in the Great Lakes Storm of 1913.
