Anecdotes
The Transportation Safety Board of Canada reports that "On 5 November, 1996, at approximately 2045[1], after departing from the beach at Long Creek on Quesnel Lake, with five vehicles stowed on deck, the barge "B-525", being pushed by the tug "OSPIKA", capsized when approximately 150m from the beach. The vehicles fell overboard and sank. A deckhand sustained minor bruises during the accident. No pollution occurred. The overturned barge was brought back to the beach and righted two days later. " "The "B-525" is a flat deck barge consisting of three pontoons, each of which is an all-welded rectangular box 18.29m x 2.44m x 1.22m, joined side by side. The pontoons are topped with a common deck made of wooden planks and fitted with a loading ramp at one end. They were fabricated by a construction firm in Port Alberni, shipped by trucks to Quesnel Lake and assembled on the lake in 1988. "
