SS Trusty

S.S. Trusty was a Steamship built by Turner Boat Works on Coal Harbour in Vancouver. She was used to deliver supplies of food and equipment, along with staff and workers to a “relief camp” built at Wilson's Landing. Also delivered mail and carried out sport fishing charters.[1]

Launched in the Spring of 1935, she remained in mail service before being moved to Victoria, British Columbia in 1937. In 1950, the owner sold Trusty and used the money to buy a car.[1]

One night, Trusty was accidentally backed for about 10 ft into a sheet of skim ice in Kelowna breakwater. This cut most of the way through her transom on the waterline and the plank had to be replaced the next day.[1]

Specifications

Trusty was 20 feet long with a 7 ft beam and 2 ft 6inch draft. She could travel at 9 knots with a 10 HP, 2 cylinder engine.[1]

gollark: Do you want me to just half the resolution or something? I can run it through ffmpeg and do that.
gollark: You can't really shrink that GIF further without losing quality in some way, if you want it to remain a GIF.
gollark: Well, if you convert it to a video then the video itself is smaller, because video codecs/formats are... actually optimized for videos; GIFs are not.
gollark: I also have this fun AV1 version with no benefits whatsoever and a white background.
gollark: You can only compress to a certain point with a given format without losing quality.
