Anecdotes

Simon Bancroft (British Columbia Nautical History Facebook Group 21/10/2016) reports that "this vessel was ex US military/Crowley tug. This vessel came to Canada with sister ship Titan. The pair headed off to Manzanillo MX with one towing a self-dumper containing the other. It was January. I believe Pacific recovered the barge off Barkley Sound and the other sailed back to Vancouver BC." this vessel is no longer registered in Canada.
