Anecdotes
This vessel is no longer registered in Canada. Her register was closed 2005-04-05. Bob Williams (British Columbia Nautical History Facebook Group 01/08/2016) states that "this vessel was tied up at the end float at Kanata when MacDonald owned her. He added the wheelhouse." Jack Tindall (British Columbia Nautical History Facebook Group 09/01/2018) states that "she is currently owned by Trevor Fletcher." John Kohnen (Email to Nauticapedia 18/07/2019) stated "I saw her tied up at Lakebay Marina, in Mayo Cove, Washington, in June of 2019. She's hogged and not looking so good, but someone was aboard her, probably living aboard. She's now registered in the US as a passenger vessel" In 2021 Pete Leenhouts (Port Ludlow WA) reported that "this vessel was in the shipyard in Port Townsend. This vessel is over on the west side of the yard, in the area usually used to break up vessels." John Lynes (Email to Nauticapedia 30/11/2021) stated "This old ship caught my attention in Lakebay Marina in 2019 and I enjoyed the entry about her on your site. I stumbled across her sad final moment at the Port Townsend shipyard on 4/6/21. Attached picture of her just before the last part of her was finally crushed."
