Historical Notes
Heather Virtue-Lapierre (British Columbia Nautical History Facebook Group 09/06/2019) stated "Columbia Steamship company was owned by lumberman Frederick Leadbetter.
He owned the pulp mill at Port Melon and the lodge at Clowhom Falls on Salmon Inlet. The 52-foot yacht was our ride from Porpoise Bay to Clowhom when I was a kid. In the early 1950s, after Mr. Leadbetter had died, my dad stripped all the mahogany off her before the caretaker scuttled her just down the inlet from Clowhom. "
