Notas históricas
In 1937 this vessel was damaged in a storm off the coast of Oregon while en route to Seattle. The crew were overcome by engine fumes and became inacapcitated. This vessel was towed by theActive to Coos Bay where this vessel was declared a loss. This vessel was so severely damaged that this vessel could not be put back into operation, so this vessel was stripped down and had her engines removed as a cement barge. While unloading a shipment of cement for the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, the former Golden Bear capsized and sank. After salvage this vessel was towed to Oyster Bay BC and placed in the breakwater there.
