"On Tuesday, September 25, 1973 at 0319 hours, the British freighter, Erawan, and the Japanese container ship, Sun Diamond, collided near the Point Grey bell buoy. The night was apparently clear, though a stiff wind was blowing and a strong seas current running. Both vessels had fully licensed Canadian pilots on board. As a result of the collision, the Erawan received a 30-foot hole amidships on her starboard side. Approximately 206 long tons of oil, reported to be of the 950 Redwood grade, was lost to the sea from the Erawan"--Introduction, pages 1-2.
