On November 13, 1925 this fishboat, under command of Captain Chester Coutts, burned one-half mile north of the Breton Islands, Georgia Strait BC Canada. A red hot coal rolled out of the stove and fell into the bilge. The gas and oil in the bilge burst into flame and this vessel was destroyed by fire. The crew evacuated in a dinghy that was rescued by the Moon Dawn.
