Dorothy


Hi Kids
Went for a short cruise this weekend on the M.V.Dorothy.
I wrote in the 'Log-book' "After a career of 34 years plus a 6 year retirement, it's nice to finally get invited aboard The Famous Dorothy."
Here is a brief note about the old boat... The M.V. Dorothy was originally constructed in1932 by the warden of the British Columbia Penitentiary and some of its prisoners. It eventually became the property of Yukon Electrical Company Limited in 1962. In addition to her service with the Yukon Electrical Company, the M.V. Dorothy has had many roles over the last eight decades. She has sailed as a research vessel and was seconded by the US military who kept her under US command throughout World War II. She sank twice but once again, she is ready for sail.
