| In November 1956 this drum seiner owned by Marian Govorchi was discovered on the rocks on the Gulf side of Saturna Island. The skipper and his three-man crew had died from carbon monoxide poisoning. This vessel was written off as a complete loss but was rebuilt at North Arm Boat Works for Nerio (Zeke) Zecchel, New Westminster BC. Al Seaweed (British Columbia Nautical History Facebook Group 20/20/2018) stated that "My dad Henry Seaweed and brother Fred Shaughnessy had this from 1969 to 1972. It was a Nelson Brothers company boat when we had it." |
