Dirk Septer stated (Email to Nauticapedia 07/02/2025) "Used for fishing Grand Banks and whaling. The original blueprints show a fixed Harpoon Gun on the bow. Only Faeroese fishing vessel with two kingposts or air intakes just in front of the wheelhouse. In May 2006 arrested for drug smuggling; crew was charged after authorities found 1,200 kilograms of marijuana worth more than $6-million aboard the 47-metre vessel in Ucluelet. After the bust, the ship was towed to a secure location at CFB Esquimalt for a thorough search. The Mounties had tracked the ship since it sailed from Halifax NS in late 2005. Renamed Tiberious; registered in Victoria, BC operated as fishing charter."
