Historia

This schooner, two-masted was built in 1880 by Clyde Shipyard (R.W. Colvin) in Victoria, BC.

Notas históricas

This vessel was a former sealer. This vessel had been a self-professed rum runner but was apparently unsuccessful so this vessel was refitted for fishing. On July 30, 1929 this vessel was destroyed by fire about one and one half miles from Swale Rock Light near the entrance to Cannery BC Canada.
