Date
unknown -- The S.S. Camosun 1 was built in Scotland in 1905 and brought
to Vancouver for the northern run up the British Columbia coast to the
fish canneries. She took Sechelt Band members up to Rivers Inlet to fish
and work in the canneries. She was the first steamer on the B.C. coast
to have wireless installed. In 1936 she was retired and reduced to scrap.
