Anecdotes
This vessel was registered at Victoria BC. This vessel operated on the Skeena River in opposition to the Hazelton. In July 6, 1907 this vessel was caught in a cross current which drove her against Ringbolt Island, in Kitsalas Canyon where this vessel struck a rock (Skeena River), and broke in two and capsized. Six lives were lost (passengers, and some furs were saved). Her engines went to the Inlander.
