Warning : We found Canadian Marine Accident records for 158606 (CAPTAIN K.). This ship has been
recorded in the Canadian Marine Occurrence database as having been in an incident. Below are the details of the Vessel, weather condition, damage incurred and other accident details such as the date: On 18 March 1991, at approximately 1320, when heading out of Long Point Bay, the CCGS "GRIFFON" collided with the inbound Canadian fishing vessel "CAPTAIN K". Visibility was severely restricted by fog. The "CAPTAIN K" sank almost immediately; the bodies of all three crew members were recovered later from the wreck when the "CAPTAIN K" was salvaged. The fishing vessel was extensively damaged and declared a constructive total loss; the Canadian Coast Guard vessel suffered minor scrapes.
The Board determined that the "GRIFFON", operating at full service speed in reduced visibility, without the use of fog signals, did not correctly identify a radar target ahead of the vessel and take collision avoidance action before the target entered the area of sea clutter. Contributing to the collision was the fact that the "CAPTAIN K" was operating without a serviceable radar.
