M/V Union Jack: A Piece of Canadian Maritime Heritage

Built in 1941 in Deep Cove, British Columbia, the M/V Union Jack is not just a vessel; it's a tangible piece of Canadian maritime history. Crafted from old-growth Canadian timber, this 80-foot tugboat represents a bygone era of craftsmanship and resilience.

History:

Originally commissioned to serve Canada's Royal Navy during World War II, the Union Jack played a vital role patrolling with the Royal Canadian Navy, transporting barges, timber, and supplies along the west coast. Post-war, it continued its duties shuttling vessels in and out of Vancouver Harbour, served as a floating lodge for fishing charters, and even enjoyed a stint as a personal yacht. Today, this maritime icon is chartered for sightseeing and fishing expeditions, fully certified by Transport Canada.

Refit and Restoration:

In 2015, recognizing its historical significance, a multi-million dollar refit spanning six years brought the Union Jack back to life. With meticulous attention to detail and no expense spared, the vessel stands as close to its original glory as a 70-year-old vessel can.
