história
steel single screw steamer, 907 tons gross. Built in England in 1890 and acquired by the Canadian Pacific Navigation Company in 1899, where she transported miners to the Klondike. SS Amur was acquired by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company in 1903 when they took over Canadian Pacific Navigation Company, and, in 1912, was sold to Coastwise Steamship and Barge Company of Vancouver for ore trade from Anoyx. In 1924, she was sold to Captain A. Berquist of Victoria and renamed Famous. In 1926, she was grounded off the Skeena River but was salvaged and re-entered into service in coastal trade under charter to Frank Waterhouse & Company. In 1928, she was laid up, dismantled, and abandoned in Bedwell Harbour, becoming a beached and vandalized eyesore. In 1930 or 1932, she was sunk by Pacific Salvage Company in the North Arm of Burrard Inlet on orders of the Vancouver Port Authority.
