Administrative history
The Algoma Shipping Company was incorporated in February, 1935 under the Companies Act of the Dominion of Canada and was a wholly owned subsidiary of the Algoma Central Railway. It was formed in order to purchase two ships from the Detroit Trust Co., the 'John J. Barlum' and the 'Thomas Barlum', which had been part of the defunct Barlum fleet. A separate company was formed in order to keep the ships out of the Algoma Central Railway's mortgage until the notes were paid. According to Barber the earnings from these two vessels kept the railway company going during the following years. The company was wound up in March, 1936.
