Tug 1941

The M/V Union Jack, a remarkable 80-foot tugboat built in 1941, represents a significant piece of Canadian maritime history. This hand-crafted vessel, constructed from old-growth timber in Deep Cove, British Columbia, showcases the enduring craftsmanship of its era. With detailed surveys on hand, including a Transport Canada trim and stability report, the Union Jack is a testament to heritage and resilience. Originally commissioned to serve the Royal Canadian Navy during World War II, it has undergone a meticulous multi-million dollar restoration between 2015 and 2018, ensuring it remains true to its original form. This vessel boasts modern upgrades while maintaining its historical charm, featuring all-new plumbing and electrical systems.
