Georgia Rock

Georgia Rock (54˚13'00" 130˚22'00" S of Digby I, just SW of Prince Rupert). CGS Georgia was a small (31-tonne, 18-m) wooden steamer built at Victoria about 1900 as a fisheries patrol vessel. In 1912, after striking a rock in Mud Bay, Alaska, the ship was sold to private interests and eventually caught fire and sank off Bishop Cove in 1915. Nearby Falcon and Kestrel rks were also named, in 1906–7, after other early federal fisheries protection vessels working on the BC coast.
