Historique
In early 1897, work commenced on a sleek 5.86 gross tons, 30ft, wooden gaff cutter (sloop) in the James Bay boatyard of John J. Robinson. Although nothing remains of Robinson’s busy shop — now the site of the Laurel Point Inn — the vessel he built is still ‘above the waves’. Today, Dorothy is considered the oldest sailing yacht in all of Canada and a major artefact in the Maritime Museum of BC’s collection.
