Historical Notes
Ken Lund (British Columbia Nautical History Facebook Group 09/03/2017) states that " the 6-71 from the Zeballos went to the Joe Drinkwater. I bought the Zeballos from Rob Critchley and I had the option of with or without the engine. Rob sold it to Lee Roberts." Robert Critchley (British Columbia Nautical History Facebook Group 13/11/2017) reports that " I got her around 1997, but the Safariks had to retain registered ownership, as it held trawl licences, so it was a few years before it was transferred over to me, (officially) on paper."
