Anecdotes
On December 11, 1927 this Canadian Government fishery patrol vessel owned by the Minister of Marine & Fisheries, Ottawa ON burned at Tuck Inlet BC Canada. This vessel had been enroute to Prince Rupert BC at the time of the incident. Her Engineer, Christopher Eyolfsen suffered burns on his face and arm. The three men on board took to the lifeboat: Captain W. Strachan (Master); C. Eyolfsen (Engineer) and Captain R. Eburne. They stayed nearby until all the gas tanks had exploded and then put a line on her and towed the burning boat to the beach.
