Historische Notizen
On September 29, 1924 Customs agents went after this launch at the Royal Victoria Yacht Club. The crew of the Ironbark claimed that the agents looked like hijackers and departed immediately under a hail of bullets from the Customs agents who claimed they only wished to inspect the ship's papers. On December 29, 1930 this vessel hit a submerged deadhead near the Second Narrows Bridge and sprang two planks. On February 26, 1951 this small tug, while under the command of Captain George Thayer, struck a rock near Snug Cove in Howe Sound. This vessel sank quickly. The captain and his crew were rescued by the North Coaster.
