Anecdotes
In 2016 this vessel was on the hard at Comox BC. Irving Billy (British Columbia Nautical History Facebook Group 25/09/2016) reports that "Larry Howes and his son Gary used to day fish her out of Tofino as long as I can remember back the 1970s and 1980s. They used to keep her spic and span back in the day. He used to tie her up in French Creek over the winter. Then he sold out in one of the first buy-backs."
