Administrative history
Algoma Tramways Ltd. was incorporated in 1937 under Ontario Letters Patent to carry on the business of transporting goods of the Algoma Steel Corporation and Algoma Ore Properties Ltd. The company was the legal entity which governed the operation of the aerial tramways which carried crushed ore from the mine face to the sinter plant. The construction of the tramway allowed Sir James Dunn to by-pass the Algoma Central Railway in the transportation of ore and was part of his scheme to force the Algoma Central Railway into bankruptcy so that he could acquire it. Eventually Dunn was forced to abandon this plan when the tramway did not have the capacity to carry the incresed amount of ore with the expansion of the sinter plant. With the Algoma Central Railway transporting the ore, the company's charter was surrendered in 1955.
