Warning : We found Canadian Marine Accident records for 817104 (MISS STEPHANIE II). This ship has been
recorded in the Canadian Marine Occurrence database as having been in an incident. Below are the details of the Vessel, weather condition, damage incurred and other accident details such as the date: On the morning of 11 August 1994, the fishing vessel "MISS STEPHANIE II", while retrieving fish from trap nets, shipped water on her afterdeck and in the aftermost under-deck compartment. While the vessel's afterdeck was submerged, the net was let go and the vessel headed toward shore. A short time later, the "MISS STEPHANIE II" sank stern first. Two guests drowned; however, five crew members survived.
The Board determined that the "MISS STEPHANIE II" was lost following an accumulation of water in the lazaret, which could not be discharged due to an inoperative bilge pump. Subsequent progressive flooding of the engine-room led to the loss of reserve buoyancy and longitudinal stability which resulted in the sudden stern-first sinking.
