Anecdotes

Bryon Taylor (Email to Nauticapedia 14/02/2019) states that "This vessel formed part of the pre-war Fishermen’s Reserve Fleet. This vessel participated in the 30 January – 25 February 1939 Fishermen’s Reserve Training Session. this vessel was however not mobilized for active duty during the Second World War." On January 29, 1960 this fishboat, owned by Ole C. Anderson, Masset BC, exploded and burned at Prince Rupert Harbour BC. Three bodies, charred beyond recognition were discovered in the wreck. The explosions occurred at the oil dock and the blazing hulk was towed across the harbour and beached, where this vessel was destroyed by fire out.
