Anecdotes
On November 10, 1975 this vesselstruck a log and sank and declared a total constructive loss two miles west of Cummins Point BC. Dirk Septer (Email to Nauticapedia 22/10/2019) stated "Almost two years after the Broken Arrow/Lost Nuke incident south of Prince Rupert, on May 21, 1952, Lewis Clifton, a Native halibut fisherman from Hartley Bay, made a gruesome discovery off Ashdown Island. His fishing vessel Collinson hooked onto a parachute, bearing US markings, entangled with some human bones and tree branches. Though at that time no positive identification could be made, it was believed the remains might be of an airman from the giant intercontinental B-36 bomber. The Prince Rupert detachment of the BC Provincial Police held the parachute and remains until the US authorities picked them up. "
