Algosoo transported her last cargo in late 2015 and was sailed to the breaking yard at Port Colborne, Ontario in October 2016.

[1][2] The ship was powered by two Crossley Pielstick single acting, four-stroke cycle 10PC2V diesel engines creating a total of 6,700 kilowatts (9,000 hp).

The elevator serviced a 77 m (252 ft) discharge boom that was capable of swinging 95 degrees to either side of the ship.

[1][2] The name of the vessel is a combination of the beginning of the owner's name "Algo" and the nickname "soo", of the city of the company's headquarters, Sault Ste.

Cargoes consisted of coal/coke, aggregates, slag, iron ore/oxides, salt, fertilizers, grain products, gypsum, quartzite, and sand.

The freighter set several load records on the Great Lakes, including those for wheat and salt.

[2] From 1993 to 2000, the vessel was operated by the Seaway Self-Unloaders Company, a joint venture between Algoma Central Marine and the Upper Lakes Group.

[1] On 25 March 1994 Algosoo was forced aground in Lake St. Francis in the St. Lawrence Seaway while being overtaken.

[8] On 23 December 2000 Algosoo collided with the Canadian Coast Guard icebreaker CCGS Griffon while being freed from ice near the Toledo Channel in Lake Erie.

[1] On 2 October 2016, Algosoo was sailed to Port Colborne to be broken up by International Marine Salvage.
