Notas históricas

In 2009 this vessel was in service in the habour at Victoria BC Canada as a spa barge. Lonnie Berrow (British Columbia Nautical History Facebook Group 07/07/2023) states "It is one of two barges the SLT 1 and SLT 2 that were originally purchased by Catherwood Towing to serve as fish feed storage barges on the west coast of Vancouver Island. The deal fell through and they were sold, one was acquired by AMIX and this one must be the other.

They were basically useless as a towed barge because of their design but this idea seems like it could be a good fit for this old hulk."
