In 1857, apprenticing in the hardware business, he travelled widely and, seeking adventure, struck gold in the Cariboo. In 1870 he became a partner in his uncle's steamship firm. Under Beatty's management the firm expanded from 1 to 5 steamships and extended its operations from Sarnia to Port Arthur, Ontario, and Duluth, Minnesota.
