On May 4, 1959 this power cruiser, owned by Dr. C.A. Armstrong, was lost on her maiden voyage with three men on a trip to Port Mellon BC. They were stranded at Sea Island and spent 21 hours waving to attract attention. Potential rescuers thought they were simply being friendly and ignored their plight. They were eventually rescued by the tug Storm Winds. |
