CFAV GLENDYNE - 07 July 1996, was involved with the “rescue” of the MS GOLDEN PRINCESS Cruise Ship off of Neah Bay, Washington. The cruise ship had an engine room fire and was disabled. The tug was called out at 0815 on a Saturday, arrived on scene about 1200 and escorted the Golden Princess (under tow by an American Tug) to Ogden Pt. We arrived at about midnight. No injuries or deaths. Story: Ian Wiggs

Since the 2 Glen Tugs have been in operation, it is estimated that they have been involved with a combined total of 28,000 ship/barge moves within Esquimalt Harbour and Rocky Point Ammunitioning Jetty.

These fine art prints are the perfect alternative to an original. Printed right here on Vancouver Island, these prints have the look and feel of something I have painted myself.

Canvas Print

The natural texture of the canvas produces prints that are often hard to tell from the art original, and because they are not behind glass, offer stunning, rich-colour views from any angle. Award-winning breathing Color LYVE canvas, OBA free, truly archival, & carefully coated with satin coating, which are certified 100+ year archival by the Fine Art Trade Guild. Ready to hang with black side treatment. The stretcher bars are locally sourced from sustainable, Vancouver Island Douglas Fir and Hemlock, kiln-dried and milled. Canvas prints are a wonderful wall art option because they can look beautifully tailored without an external frame.

Fine Art Paper

"Made from 100% cotton rag and using a hot press production technique, this Hot-Press Fine Art Paper features a smooth matte finish. The heavy weight of 330 gsm, thickness of 16 mil, and opacity of 98% further give this paper the look and feel of a true fine art paper. Also, by forgoing the use of optical brightening agents, this media will offer a warmer, more natural coloration that is less prone to degradation over time. Designed for longevity, Hot Press Natural is free of acid, lignin, and chlorine and is pH buffered."
