I am currently restoring 17ft Davidson lifeboat. I am interested in two aspects of this boat. I am looking for information on the Davidson company founded by Hamish Davidson on West Georgia St in Vancouver BC. They built fiberglass lifeboats and work boats from about 1948 to the mid 1970's. Also: the boat I am working on has the name Mary B VI registered in Vancouver BC in the original gel coat. I am very interested in any information on the history and life of this boat. I have contacted a fellow in Halifax who served on her on the east coast and know that she also worked in the Beaufort Sea possibly for Dome Petroleum. She is/was a supply ship similar to an ocean tug. I would particularly like to see photographs of her. Thanks all Philip Merchant
