Chief Commissioner was a Hudson's Bay Company propeller driven steamship intended for operation on the Saskatchewan River.[1] She was launched in May, 1872, in Fort Garry. However, her draft was too deep, and for her three years of operation, she provided service on Lake Winnipeg.[2] She was retired in 1875, with her components cannibalized and used in other vessels.
