| The Scotch Cap eyesore is no more in Port Edward |
The near six week long process of the removal of the Scotch Cap at the Port Edward Boat Launch has come to an end, with the District announcing the reopening of the popular and much used facility as of today.
As we noted in January, the project was taken on by the Prince Rupert Port Authority and required dis-assembly of the abandoned vessel, one of two derelict vessels that crashed ashore during extreme weather in 2021.
With work now complete on the Scotch Cap, the District continues to push forward towards gaining the attention of Federal officials towards removal of the MV Fairwind.
