Famous Boat restored in Campbell River
A 16-metre fish boat, the BP 45, is the centrepiece of Campbell River, B.C.’s new Maritime Heritage Centre. Built in 1927 by Burrard Shipyards in North Vancouver as part of a fleet of seiners owned by BC Packers, the BCP 45 is more famous for the photo taken in the 1958 Sockeye season north of Campbell River. This photo appeared on the Canadian five dollar bill from 1972 to 1986. After 68 years as a salmon seiner, troller, gillneter, beam trawler and tow-off for the winter herring, the BCP 45 was retired in 1996, and donated to the BC Maritime Museum in Vancouver. In 2002, it returned home to be restored. ( Victoria Times Colonist 07Mar25 | Maritime Heritage Centre) [ boatinginCanada.com | boating in Canada News & Archives ]

IJC report on Great Lakes Water Quality
The International Joint Commission (IJC) has issued its Thirteenth Biennial Report on Great Lakes Water Quality. They recommend that the governments of Canada and the United States create and apply an uncommonly strong Accountability Framework for Great Lakes restoration and protection under the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement. Last October, the International Joint Commission of Canada and the United States recommended that both governments update the current Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement with goals, timelines, performance measures, and provisions for monitoring and reporting for greater accountability when it comes to the cleanup of the waters of the Great Lakes.

Canadian leads “pirates” against Whalers
Protest ships Farley Mowat and the Robert Hunter have been harrassing Japanese whalers in the Ross Sea, south of New Zealand. Both vessels belong to the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, led by Canadian activist Paul Watson. Farley Mowat crew attacked a whaling ship with butyric acid (not permanently damaging), hitting two in the face — after the whalers had rescued two of Farley Mowat’s crewmembers from an iceberg. Similarly, a week ago, protestors in dinghies confronted the Japanese whaler Nisshin Maru, and one Zodiac got lost. The Japanese whalers answered the distress call, helping with a grid search, and the two men were rescued. Crewmembers from the Farley Mowat resumed their antics, tossing butyric acid and a smoke bomb onto the Nisshin Maru’s deck.Officially, the Farley Mowat is a pirate ship since Transport Canada stripped its Canadian registration and it lost its Belize registration. Japan was to host a meeting of the International Whaling Commission, in an attempt to lift the international moratorium on commercial whaling. Twenty-six nations said they would boycott the meeting. Protesters in Toronto said in agreement, “Arrrrgh!” (The Toronto Star | Farley Mowat | Sea Shepherd Society) [ boatinginCanada.com | boating in Canada News & Archives ]
