Jervis Crest, once known as the Storm Crest, owned by Thunder Bay Tugs now, was built By Alberni Engineering (who also built Storm Coaster, Storm Force & Storm Queen) in 1970 for Egmont Towing & Sorting. She was then sold to Jim Lane at Mariner Towing. He also owned the Spruce Lane, Tugger Lane & the Sea Lane. After that Jim sold out to Pacific towing. At that point Pacific was one of the biggest towing companies on the Coast especially in log towing and they used the tug until Bob & Brenda Heatley at Thunder Bay Tugs bought her in 2015 and since then have been doing mostly log towing and a little barging with it all over the BC Coast. The Jervis Crest is well known on the BC Coast as a good smaller log tower.

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."
