The decline of Sir Charles Ogle began in 1886 with the rise in competition from Chebucto and MicMac, coupled with the rising costs of repairs needed to pass the inspections that had been mandated since 1878. The final blow came about with the creation of the Halifax and Dartmouth Steam Ferry Company, which rendered other Halifax harbor ferries unnecessary. Sir Charles Ogle was sold in 1894 for $200Parker, p. 39 and converted to a tender fitted with a fumigation apparatus using a sulphur and bichloride mercuric chamber for the Lawlor Island Quarantine Station before being scrapped and replaced by the Minocoa (Salucan II). for disease prevention.Sir Charles Ogle, Mills List
