Anecdotes
Some sources suggest that this vessel became the Cape Palmerston in 1948 but according to source documents this is incorrect. Christopher J. Cole (British Columbia Nautical History Facebook Group 19/06/2019) stated that "During my research it seems during the war this vessel had different paint schemes, disguises and names to go with."
