On the morning of 29 August 1995, in calm and clear weather conditions in Johnstone Straits, the fishing vessel "INSKIP" suddenly capsized at about 0835(1) when a catch of salmon being lifted over the stern slid to port. Downflooding of the fish holds caused the wooden seiner to sink quickly as she was already fully laden with fish caught earlier. The crew and the skipper's family who lived on the "INSKIP" boarded the skiff being towed alongside and were rescued by another fishing vessel in the vicinity. Minor injuries were sustained by one crew member who was pinned to the bulwark when the fish catch slid over to port.
