Anecdotes

The Canadian Coast Guard (Email to Nauticapedia 29/06/2022) "Report this morning that the tug SANTA RITA, owner Tom Phillips, sank at Goldstream Marina. Depth of water is 60 feet. Tug is completely submerged. Owner was on board at the time but survived." The Canadian Coast Guard (Email to Nauticapedia 27/07/2022) reports that "The vessel Santa Rita (ex-Montague Straits) was removed without incident at AMIX Duncan Bay without incident on July 9. CCG conducted a third party survey which confirmed the vessel was a total loss with no residual value. The presence of lead paint and asbestos have delayed the deconstruction."
