CAPE ROSS
Converted Seiner Circa 1952 - History
1952 was a very good year!
The Cape Ross was built at Sterling Shipyards in 1952 by the Canadian Fishing Company as a table seine boat and was later modernized to a drum seiner.
Originally based out of Alert Bay, she was later transferred to the Kitimat - Prince Rupert areas and fished salmon and herring along the entire B.C. Coast. She was retired from Canadian Fish in 1999.
Tidemark Marine Services (Capt. John Dolmage) purchased the Cape Ross from a private interest in 2002.
