Anecdotes
The Transportation Safety Board of Canada states that "On September 28, 2012, at approximately 0430 Pacific Daylight Time, the Canadian fishing vessel Viking Storm collided with the American fishing vessel Maverick in thick fog, 30 nautical miles off La Push, Washington. The Maverick capsized and sank from the impact; 3 of the 4 crew members on board survived and were rescued by the Viking Storm. The fourth crew member was never found and is presumed drowned." "The Viking Storm is a large fishing vessel outfitted for trawling; it has a welded steel hull and an aluminum deckhouse located forward of amidships. The deckhouse contains the galley, accommodations for 11 persons, the engine room entrance, and stairs to the wheelhouse. The wheelhouse is equipped with navigation and communication equipment including radars, depth sounders, sonars, very high frequency (VHF) radiotelephones, autopilot, an automatic identification system, chart plotters, global positioning systems (GPS), and a satellite radiotelephone/television system. The vessel is also fitted with a watch alarm. Atop the vessel’s deckhouse are four 1000-watt high-pressure sodium (HPS) floodlights. All navigation, communication, and fishing electronics are located around the seated conning position on the starboard side of the wheelhouse. "
