Notas históricas
On June 16, 1953 this vessel went ashore at Bear Point, Johnstone Strait BC Canada. This vessel was salvaged and beached at Elk Bay for repairs. Alan Haig-Brown (British Columbia Nautical History Facebook Group 27/09/2015) recalls that "I worked on her for a bit in 1964. This vessel had a nice big Cat engine in a huge engine room. The auxiliary was in the fore-peak which was massively timbered to withstand the ice pressure when this vessel was frozen in. This vessel had H B Co in brass on the wheel." On December 19, 1976 this vessel sank at Corinto, Nicaragua.
