History
Steel single screw, 4,032 tons gross, passenger steamer operated by Canadian Pacific Railway. She was laid up in North Vancouver in 1962 and sold in 1965 to American owners and towed to Los Angeles to become floating restaurant. The restaurant declared bankruptcy in 1988 and the ship sank at her moorings in 1989 under strange circumstances that prevented Lloyds of London from paying insurance to the Bank of San Pedro that now owned the vessel. She was towed to sea and scuttled 16nm off San Pedro in 1990.
