Anecdotes |
---|
Jim Thorne (British Columbia Nautical History Facebook Group 12/04/2016) reports that "she has been sitting semi derelict in Minette Bay, near Kitimat, BC, for several years." Kyle Stubbs (British Columbia Nautical History Facebook Group 28/02/2019) states that "There was no such designation as a "YTC" in the US Navy, so YTC No.501 was most likely an early civilian name. The design of her stern suggests this vesselis a WWII US Navy LCS(L) or LCI(L) landing craft type, which has had the forward 35-feet or so removed and replaced with a traditional landing craft bow. Unfortunately, of the 105 of those two types built by Commercial Iron Works, nearly 50 have no trace after being sold between 1946-51, so figuring out which one this vesselis would be tough without either more information, or a closer look at the vessel." |
