| From 1928-1948 this vesselprovided patrol services on Vancouver Harbour and False Creek. Robert Lawson (Email to Nauticapedia 11/08/2021) states that "About 1972? this vessel was found in Courtenay Slough by Graham Wilson, towed to Vancouver where he installed a Gardiner 6LW with a Capitol 3:1 gear. The boat, nicely maintained and updated, was at Westview in 1985. This vessel may still be around, I seem to remember her at the wooden boat show in Victoria in the early 1990s. This vessel was 48ft on deck, 12 ft beam, had a 48x42 bronze propellor on a 2 inch monel shaft and the rudder and shoe, both massive, were cast in bronze. I believe the after deck house was a later edition. When this vessel was powered with the Vivian there would have been a low trunk cabin over the engine, accommodation was forward." |
