Anecdotes
The Transportation Safety Board of Canada reports that "On the morning of 06 November 2004, the tug Manson, with a crew of two, was on passage between New Westminster, British Columbia, on the Fraser River and Beale Cove, Texada Island, British Columbia. The Manson had two barges in tow: the crane barge McKenzie and the deck barge M.B.D. 32. During the transit through the Strait of Georgia, the couplers connecting the M.B.D. 32 to the stern of the McKenzie parted. The Manson, with the McKenzie in tow, attempted to recover the M.B.D. 32 but experienced steering difficulties during this process. The Manson capsized and sank with the loss of both crew members - a deckhand and the master. Both barges were subsequently recovered; the Manson has not been located." "The barge M.B.D. 32 is an open-deck barge used for the carriage of deck cargo. Bulwarks approximately 1.8 m high are erected to port and starboard of the main deck. The barge was loaded with construction material and was trimmed significantly by the stern"
