Let’s go back to the March 1969 pages of the Delta Optimist, this time to check out a front page story of an unexpected catch by a local fishing vessel.
The Heather Isles fishing out of Ladner found an anchor believed to be around 100-years-old.
The anchor was “caught” in Trincomali Channel where a large cargo ship was reported to have sunk a century earlier.
The Gulf Island waters contain several large shipwrecks from that time period.
The anchor, seen here being checked out by Doug Massey, was offered to the Delta Historical Society.
