Anecdotes
The Transportation Safety Board of Canada reports that "At approximately 1008 Pacific daylight time on 30 June 2005, while approaching berth No. 1 at Horseshoe Bay, the Queen of Oak Bay suffered loss of propulsion and a reduction of steerage. As a result, the vessel deviated off course and struck 28 pleasure craft berthed in the adjacent marina before running aground. There were no casualties; however, there was considerable damage to the pleasure craft and marina."
