Anecdotes
This troller fishboat used to berth at Bamfield BC while it was active. On July 29, 1973 this fishboat collided with a deadhead and sank within 3 minutes while heading for Bamfield at Lone Tree Point in the Alberni Inlet BC. Lamb was picked up by a sports fisherman who had to be paid to turn around and take Lamb to Port Alberni.
