In 1972 this vessel was purchased by the Municipality of Langley to moor as a floating exhibit. When this proved too costly this vessel was sold for use a harbour cruise ship with the stipulation that this vesselmust sail to Langley at least eight times a year and be placed on display during Greater Vancouver Sea Festivals.
