Comments:
I worked as a cook/deckhand in the 70's on her in BC Forest Service. - Brian Irving [9/16/24]
I spent the summer of 1963 working on the Forest Surveyor for the B.C. Forest Service along the mid-coast of British Columbia and based out of Bella Coola. -Don Benn [10/29/25]
My good friend captain Peter Brown was the last Canadian owner and did a lot of work on keeping her afloat and used her on many trips on the West Coast. RIP Captain -- your upkeep of the old girl was not in vain and I’m sure the folks down south do appreciate her.
