Notas históricas
Cliff Craig reports that "I operated the Island Titan and tugboat salvaging and dredging for over six years. The Island Titan went mysteriously missing the September long weekend of 1978, never to be seen again by my eyes. This vessel was tied alongside Valley Towing’s Packmore 5000 barge I had been loading with 140 foot cedar poles, waiting to load out another 60 from the sorting grounds. I had just signed a contract to do more work in the coming weeks. The Tuesday after the long weekend in September I came back to work where the Island Titan should have been still tied up, but her four 2 inch tie–up lines were stretched taut and shredded. This vessel had simply disappeared with no trace. The mystery of her fate is unsolved to this day. If any reader can shed light on the solution to this mystery I would really like to hear it."
