Geschichte
This bark (4-masted) was built in 1892 by Russell & Co. Ltd. in Port Glasgow, Scotland.
Historische Notizen
In May 1969 this vessel was sold to Capital Iron & Metals of Victoria for demolition but towed to Alaska to be a pier for the Alaska pipeline. This fell through and this vessel was taken to Seattle in October 1971. John Campbell (British Columbia Nautical History Facebook Group 22/11/2017) states that "This vessel was converted to a hog fuel barge. On June 16, 1945 her cargo caught fire at Alberni and the barge was sunk to extinguish the fire but not before considerable damage was done. Sold for $9000 to the Powell River Co. in 1945 as a breakwater hulk, removed from breakwater in 1954 for repairs to be used as a barge again."
