Anecdotes
Alan Haig-Brown (British Columbia Nautical History Facebook Group 27/01/2018) states that "I've heard that Chief Billy Assu ran the Quathiaski 8. He liked all of his crew to keep watching for jumpers. He sometimes got angry and said, "I can see more with my glass eye than you can with two good eyes." "
