Dave Hamilton (British Columbia Nautical History Facebook Group 29/12/2019) states that this history may be inacurately reported - that "this vessel was a cheesy vessel built by Van Ship whereas the Ikaluk was like fine dining … built in Japan to the same plans. I know both these vessels. Never a Canmar ship."
