Union Steamship Comox being raised from Cortes Reef (Sutil Point)

https://collections.cortesmuseum.com/en/permalink/descriptions13713

Part Of: May and Elmer Ellingsen fonds

Description Level: Item

Material Type: graphic material

Accession Number: 2018.002

Date Range: 1907

Scope and Content: A description of the event may be found in “Whistle Up the Inlet,” by G.A. Rushton (J.J. Douglas Ltd., Vancouver BC,1974; p 50): "Good teamwork in the handling of the ships by the Union Company’s marine department was evidenced when, on September 19, 1907, at 4:30 a.m., the Comox, running in a heavy fog, went aground on Cortez Island reef. All passengers were landed safely in small boats, then picked up by the Cassiar and taken to Heriot Bay for transfer to their destination aboard the Coquitlam. The Comox was pulled from her rocky perch at high water the following day and beached at Mansons, where a three-foot hole between the boiler and starboard bunker were patched. The vessel was towed back to Vancouver on September 22 by the tug Tartar.”
