| The Transportation Safety Board of Canada reports that "On 28/03/2000 while on passage in British Columbia from Powell Anchorage to Waglisla, the small fishing vessel Lori Cathlynn heeled over to starboard, downflooded and capsized to starboard in Seaforth Channel off Campbell Island. The vessel was transporting herring spawn on kelp in tote boxes on deck. The weather and sea were relatively calm at the time. All five members of the crew were safely recovered." "The Lori Cathlynn is a wooden fishing vessel with an aluminum house forward of amidships. The hull is divided into five compartments: forepeak, lower cabin, engine-room, fish hold and lazarette. The lower cabin forward has accommodation for four crew members. The upper deck of the house is aluminum with the wheelhouse occupying the forward part, the skipper's cabin, a washroom and a galley/mess room aft. There are outside ladders from the afterdeck to the cabin top and an inside vertical ladder between the starboard side of the wheelhouse and the lower cabin. The fish hold is subdivided into three parts. As fish cargo is often transported in a slush-mix of ice and water, the compartments are also termed "fish tanks." The fish holds extend aft, enclosed by the weather deck, upon which a net drum (or reel) is mounted at the stern. Located aft of the superstructure, one deck hatch, with a coaming, gives access to three watertight compartments, which comprise the centrally divided forward port and starboard and the after fish holds. Two small flush deck scuttles are located on each side of the deck hatch, and one small flush deck scuttle located aft gives access to the lazarette." |
