The 147-metre cargo ship went down in Nootka Sound in 1968 and remained undisturbed 122 metres below the surface until last fall when an oily sheen was spotted in waters near the wreck. The federal government awarded a $5.7-million contract to a Florida company to use remotely operated underwater vehicles and a process called hot tapping to drill into the ship, suction out the fuel and then flush the tanks. When the work was announced early last month, the Fisheries Department said there was the chance for a larger release of oil but no spill was detected. Jordan says the success of the operation is a great relief.
