Anecdotes
Casey Chapman reports (Email to Nauticapedia 19/09/2016) that "Douglas Rogers was a dear friend of mine and his sweet wee ship fell into disrepair when this vessel was stripped of her ground fish license for lack of landings. Doug had broken his leg and sat out most of the season a few years earlier. He and the Aladdin II harvested clams after that to earn a living, but it just wasn't enough to keep up with the maintenance that a boat of her age required. Her final blow came at the hands of the Camanita one night as this vessel was coming in to her berth, this vesselbroadsided the Aladdin II causing her to spring a plank a foot below the waterline. Doug managed to keep her afloat for almost a year, stemming the leak with various articles of clothing. It was a sight to see a sleeve waving at you from below the water in the gentle current of the harbour. Alas, the pumps finally gave out one night as Doug was ashore and this vesselsettled low at the dock. This vessel was dragged to the beach and was set alight. A funeral pyre as beautiful as it was sad. "
