Anecdotes

Lonnie Edward Berow reports (British Columbia Nautical History Facebook Group 13/10/2014) that "her original name was USS SC-772". From the SC-772 Decklog: "SC 772 was commissioned 4/15/1943 at the Peyton Company, Newport Beach, CA. It initially did patrol duty near Seattle WA, Astoria OR, Neah Bay, and the Columbia River area. In mid-August 1944 SC 772 was deployed to the South Pacific for patrol duty near Saipan and Tinian, where on 6/8/1945 it rescued two survivors from a downed plane. Decommissioned 12/7/1945 at Bellevue WA." Robert McCandless (Email to Nauticapedia November 4, 2018) states that "From 1963 to 1966, the “Joan Lindsay”, later renamed “Maplewood”, was part of Shell Canada’s offshore exploration on BC’s west coast. This vessel carried a Fisheries Officer, who monitored explosions set off by Shell’s “shooting boat”, MJ Scanlon (which see). The source for this should be ‘Postponed Decisions: Petroleum Exploration on Canada’s Western Continental Shelf’ by Robert G. McCandless, BC Studies Number 178 (Summer 2013) p.71-96."
