Anecdotes
Michael Kaehn (British Columbia Nautical History Facebook Group 16/12/2019) stated that "After months of preparation in January 1949 ITB had the 260' former C.P.R. Transfer Barge No. 4 brought up on the marine railway at Yarrows and cut the all steel railcar barge in half. The stern section became a regular barge and the bow section became the "Island Titan" a large floating crane, the first of its kind ever seen in British Columbia waters.In the design stage the crane was to include a single one hundred foot long boom capable of lifting upwards of seventy-five tons and using a set of “sheerlegs”,would be able to lift loads up to two hundred tons. Yarrow officials at the time believed that the cutting in half of the C.P.R. Transfer Barge No. 4 had been the first time such an “operation” had taken place in local shipyards. In 1952 this vessel was placed on the Vancouver - Nanaimo service."
