歴史的注記
This vessel is thought by some sources to have served as an auxiliary vessel in the Royal Canadian Navy during the Second World War. On August 11, 1969 the Canadian halibut vessel B. C. Clipper suffered an explosion of liquefied gas off Kodiak in August which took the lives of three of her crew. Toxic fumes made it impossible to fight the resulting fire and the five survivors abandoned ship.
They were forced to remain in the frigid water for four hours when their life raft inflated upside down, but all were rescued by the fishboat Peggy Jo. The B. C. Clipper had delivered 100,000 pounds of halibut to Kodiak and was outward bound for the fishing banks when the accident occurred. (Gordon Newell, Maritime Events of 1969, H. W. McCurdy Marine History of the Pacific Northwest 1966 to 1975, p.71) Winston Tucker of Vancouver BC, his son Clarence Tucker and Charles Stanley of New Westminster BC were lost. Five others survived on an overturned life raft until rescued by the fishing vessel Peggy Jo. The vessel sank two miles southeast of Two Headed Island southwest of Kodiak AK.
