歴史的注記
This vessel is said to have been engaged in rum running 1929-1934. This vessel formed part of the pre-war Fishermen’s Reserve Fleet. This vessel was mobilized as a Fishermen’s Reserve vessel from 18 Sep 1939 to 21 Nov 1939. On October 15, 1942 this vessel ran aground on a sandbar at the mouth of the Fraser River. This vessel was refloated on the high tide after half her cargo of salmon was unloaded into scows. On January 19, 1943 this vessel was rammed by the fishpacker Koprino, five miles from the Ballenas Islands with Captain Backwell in command. At first they thought it was a glancing blow but this vessel began to fill with water. The Koprino took on the crew and the Algie sank.
