  • this is a video of a fish packer taking on water and sinking during the 2014 roe herring fishery. The packer just makes it in to French Creek B.C. and is able to be pumped out and saved. Every one was fine and the boat didn't pack anymore fish but finished the season.

    I am totally impressed. That boat was actively sinking, and she would have been very difficult to maneuver. She came in so smooth and evenly, you could believe it was all intentional. Super good job to the crew!

    A couple of years ago my engine room filled up with water on my 36 ft. gillnetter , just between the Dundas Islands and Port Simpson B.C. ..my john Deere engine was completely under water ..my turbo for my air was above the rear of the engine ..so it gave my deck hand time to try to get it pumped out. After using a 5 gallon pail ..my deckhand had four other bilge pumps that I was too lazy to throw away ..all worked that day..my gillnetter came close to rolling over.. We got her pumped out and made it home under our own power ...yeah , those guys were lucky the bull works never gave way.

They could get a loan to build a brand new boat from scratch but not to rebuild the old one.

Good work by the skipper, but need to know circumstances to determine cause. Was it at crossing the bar? Was it at at the fishing grounds while putting on a seine of fish?? Not enough data to know, but any way the captain communicated the vessel's issues, kept the crew safe, and delivered his catch (hopefully).

    I'm betting the pucker factor was a 9.9 out of 10.

    Any sinking you can walk away from is a good one.

      Good thing, too. If that boat ramp had been a few hundred feet farther away........ Good skipper and crew. Stay calm and look for a quick solution.

    The captain knew if he stopped she'd sink. Great thinking using the boat ramp.

    I know people who have work boats that they know they leak. And they keep one or two gas "mud pumps' on bored. So if it get this bad, they can pump allot of water out fast. Same type of pumps the Coast Guard uses to assist when they respond to to a boat taking on water. And they really are not very expressive and take up very little space.
