Historical Notes
The Canada registry of this vessel was suspended effective 2008-03-10; prior to that date this vessel had been documented in the United States as a commercial fishing vessel. Kyle Stubbs reports (June 2026): "This vessel appears to have last been in service as a fishing vessel circa 2007. When I observed her in the Charleston, OR boatyard in December of 2016, she was showing clear signs of being stripped of fittings, and I suspect she was broken up shortly after."
