Dominion I (II)

The Ship Source Oil Pollution Fund Annual Report 2013-2014 states "On October 2, 2010, the Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) received a report of a 120-foot vessel listing and possibly sinking in Cowichan Bay, Vancouver Island. Environmental Response personnel from the CCG Victoria base investigated.

They found the ex-fish-packing vessel Dominion I at anchor. It had been built in 1970 of steel construction and later converted to a pleasure craft. CCG contacted the owner of the Dominion I residing in Oregon, USA, who stated that he would be on-site within 10 days to determine what could be done with the vessel. the shipowner – who resides in the United States – arrived in Canada aboard a Mexican – flagged tug, Gaviota, and prepared the Dominion I for towing. On June 22, 2013, with the approval of Transport Canada, Ship Safety, the Mexican tug and Dominion I departed the Canadian jurisdiction."
