The Sea Lion was launched on May 25, 1905. Significance of the Sea Lion: * First tug in British Columbia to have ship-to-shore radio and a searchlight. * Played a role in the dramatic story of the immigrant ship Komagata Maru . * Made the first tow of a 'Davis raft' in British Columbia. * Struck a rock in the Yaculta Rapids (1930). The rock (Sea Lion Rocks) is named in memory of the event. * Its whistle had a sliding scale, on which the crew could play songs. * Still active 100 years after it was built. From the sign near the boat.
