Rescue boats and safety boats involved in the operation of the Jericho Sailing<br />
Centre. It is also used by the Canadian <strong>Coast</strong> Guard for medical evacuations<br />
off the water. As dock space is limited, it is available for public use as an emergency<br />
dock or passenger pick-up/drop off, but not for tying up. The public beach<br />
and water way in front of the Jericho Sailing Centre is designated for use by<br />
small, naturally powered craft: kayaks, windsurfers, row boats, sailing dinghies,<br />
stand-up paddling etc. Swimming is prohibited. Boats, other than rescue or safety<br />
craft involved with Jericho Sailing Centre programs are not permitted in this<br />
area other than to approach the Emergency Dock.<br />

from the coastal freighter “Trader” (101 feet long, 22.6 feet wide, 172 tons). She<br />
sank on March 16, 1923, while captained by Fred Anderson with no loss of life<br />
but lots of wreckage on the beach (UASBC.)<br />
