July 2-06 Rescued Boat
Originally uploaded by sointula.

This purse seiner from Washington was on its way north but encountered problems and flipped over. She was towed into Sointula Harbour. Days were spent cleaning her up and saving the equipment. The fishers continued up in another boat to finish their season. The boat was banged up and dented and was eventually taken back to the States.
