Notes historiques
In 1918 this vessel was transferred to Canadian Registry. On January 15, 1922 the Princess Royal (passenger ship) was in a collision in dense fog with the tug Clinton near the entrance of First Narrows, Vancouver Harbour which caused the Clinton to founder in Burrard Inlet BC Canada. The crew of the Clinton climbed up onto the bow of the steamer to save themselves from the sinking tugboat. Captain of the L.H. Fraser was the last to leave the tug.
