Warning: We found Canadian Marine Accident records for 392962 (CROWN FOREST 72-68). 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:

While crossing Skidegate Narrows, British Columbia, the "CROWN FOREST 72-68" listed to starboard until the vessel capsized. The crew of two was in the wheel-house. The operator escaped from the wheel-house and climbed on the capsized hull. He was unable to find his companion after a search above and below water. The operator was rescued a short time later. The body of the missing crew member was later recovered from the wheel-house by a diver but resuscitation attempts were unsuccessful. The Board determined that the vessel capsized because of a loss of initial transverse stability due to the free-surface effect of water accumulating on deck. The water accumulation was caused primarily by the deteriorated condition of the bow ramp seal. The fact that the vessel's operators and managers were not sufficiently knowledgeable to recognize that the ineffective ramp/hull seal seriously compromised the vessel's stability, and that no action was taken on unsafe condition reports made by the vessel's operators following previous near-capsizings contributed to this accident.
