Story
This work boat was built in 1949 by Radler Boat Works (Fred Radler) in Vancouver, BC.
Historical Notes
This vessel was largely used to tow scows loaded with oysters to the plant in Delta BC, and to position empty scows over the oyster beds. At low tide the empty scows would land near the beds to which the workers would walk and harvest the oysters. Full scows were then floated back to the plant for processing.
