Island Escapades

07/06/2023

I can relate ! Lol 😂

The notorious Porlier Pass, a narrow 1 km by 2 km passage located within Gulf of Georgia Strait, is to this day considered to be a dangerous route for boats to take. The pass is full of rocks, tides of 4 - 9 speed knots, and whirling eddies; mariners are advised to avoid it. Shown here in 1948 is the Island Tug and Barge Co.'s Chief Burrard running aground. She was salvaged from this mishap.

Interesting article here of the history and work undertaken to make this passage safer; https://lighthousefriends.com/light.asp?ID=1182
