Notas históricas
George Duddy (Email to Nauticapedia 10/09/2024) states "She would have been shipped by rail to Fort McMurray and then taken down the Mackenzie River including portaging on a trailer pulled by a tractor over Smith Portage. Quotation from book: “The boat I ordered came to Aklavik. The summer of 1926 I owned a schooner at last! It was a brand-new one, built that year, and called the Bonnie Belle. It was forty feet long, with a Francisco Standard heavy duty ten horsepower machine-to-make-fire. It worked beautifully.”"
Propietarios y capitanes
In 1926-1927 she was owned by Nuligak (Bob Cockney), Aklavik NWT Canada.
She was later she was owned by Walter & Stanley Cockney, NWT Canada. Note a previous version of this entry noted she was owned by Scotty Gall based on interview in Victoria on 27/08/1991 in Victoria and that she was built by Ericksen Boat Builders. It appears that Gall probably mixed this up with the HBC schooner Blue Fox which he skippered in 1927 that was built by that firm.
