Anecdotes
The Transportation Safety Board of Canada reports that "On the morning of 14 September 2000 shortly after departing her berth at Swartz Bay, B.C., the passenger/vehicle ferry Spirit of Vancouver Island increased to a customary speed and attempted to overtake the pleasure craft Star Ruby in the 460 m long narrow section of the buoyed channel of Colburne Passage. Neither vessel took effective collision-avoidance measures. A collision resulted. The pleasure craft sustained considerable damage and sank. The two persons aboard the Star Ruby were recovered and transported to a hospital, where they subsequently succumbed to their injuries."
