Historical Notes

Trudie Collishaw (British Columbia Nautical History Facebook Group 10/09/2018) stated "This vessel served as the mail boat between Secret Cove and Thormanby Island for many years — the engine had been conveniently moved into the fish hold. Howard White travelled up the Pacific Coast on the Beaver and later mentioned her in Raincoast Chronicles."
