Anecdotes

Simon Bancroft states that "It is one of a near dozen barges and some tugs that came down from the arctic and were acquired by JJM. There are some interesting stories of the maritime adventures that followed. By the early nineties JJM had established a tip site for the excavation business located at what is now Olympic Village in False Creek. For a few years we serviced the ramp with Mustang and Sea Champ and towed sister split dumping barges 308, 309, 310 and 311 to the spoil grounds off Pt Grey."
