Anecdotes
On December 16, 1915 this small Skookumchuck fishboat under the command of Captain Silvey was returning to Vancouver harbour in the evening with a cargo of fish. They were overtaking the tug Maagen, under command of Captain Thomas Edwards, which was towing a light scow through First Narrows. The fishboat was passing the tug on the starboard side when a strong rip current slewed the fishboat around across the bow of the tug. The tug forced the boat over on its side and it filled up with water and flooded. AS this vesselrolled past the scow her house works were torn off causing her to sink. The skipper and two fishermen were in the house when the accident occurred and Captain Silvey and George Roberts disappeared drowned. A second fisherman, Leslie Wilson, came to the surface clinging to floating wreckage and was rescued.
