(CARLI BERRY / iNFOnews.ca) January 31, 2021 - 8:00 AM A blue and white sailboat has been the marketing staple of Holiday Park Resort since its inception in the 1980s, but the boat has a far longer history, some of which was spent beneath the waves of Okanagan Lake. The sailboat is actually the Orchard City II, a tugboat commissioned in 1903 that was used to cart logs across Okanagan Lake. In 1948, it sank after a storm near Kelowna’s Mission area, where it sat for almost 30 years, according to Old Kelowna, a Facebook page which highlights the Central Okanagan’s history. In 1979, it came back to the surface when Kelowna entrepreneur Leo Budnick decided to use it as a restaurant.
