Barge almost sinks
at Lynnwood Marina

A 60-foot converted barge came close to sinking
at the breakwater of the Lynnwood Marina on
Christmas Eve.

At 3:30 p.m. Dee. 24, four volunteers from the Deep Cove
Lifeboat were asked by the Victoria Rescue Centre to aid the
barge, said Paul Riviere of North Shore Lifeboat. They arrived
at the barge at the same time as the harbour patrol vessel.

Both vessels began pumping the barge's bilge, which was
80% underwater. After two hours of pumping, commercial
pumps supplied by the Lynnwood Marina were put into action.

The barge was 90 years old and depended on power from
the shore co run its safety bilge pumps. The power supply run-
ning te the barge from shore had been cut, disabling the
pumps. The barge was eventually removed from the water for
inspection,

North Vancouver RCMP spokesman Cpl. Patrick Thibeault
said there would be no police investigation.
