1000 tons of barley would have made a lot of scotch. A real shame.

As she was bound for Portland, it would have likely ended up a Weinhard beer. Maybe a Lucky Lager if brewed across the river in Vancouver, Wa.

Nothing lucky about that.

Our coast is a littered with such old bones.

The one I often think about is the four railcars loaded with chlorine that were lost enroute from Howe Sound to Powell River in 1975.

It's believed they are in more than 164 fathoms, off the east side of Texada Island.
