Anecdotes
Thomas Robinson (Email to Nauticapedia 25/03/2021) stated "The fish boat Hekla II, when it was owned by Jonah Nelson, sank in the Kitamaat Village Harbor. My uncle John Robinson, who was the final owner of the boat, bought the boat from Jonah Nelson and salvaged it. He rebuilt the engine and used the Hekla II as a troller until it burned to the waterline and sank near Aristazabal Island."
