CCGS ''Ann Harvey'' is a Canadian Coast Guard buoy tender and SAR vessel with light icebreaker duties. She was constructed in 1987 by Halifax Dartmouth Industries, in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The vessel was named after the daughter of a local Newfoundland fisherman from Isle aux Morts on Newfoundland's southwest coast. In 1828, 17-year-old Ann, and her younger brother of 12, helped their father to rescue 160 crewmembers and passengers from the ship , which had been driven onto the rocks near their home. Again in 1838, Ann and her father rescued 25 crewmembers from the distressed vessel ''Rankin''. Both rescues were due largely to Ann's strength, determination and courage.〔(Canadian Coast Guard - CCGS Ann Harvey )〕 ''Ann Harvey''s home port is St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador〔(Vessel - Canadian Coast Guard )〕 and is stationed there with other Coast Guard ships. ==Service history== On 1 April 2015, ''Ann Harvey'' ran aground southwest of Burgeo, Newfoundland and Labrador. The ship had been performing work on buoys when it hit bottom. A hole was torn in the hull and as she pulled back off the rocks, water flooded the motor propulsion room. Some personnel were evacuated and was sent to tow ''Ann Harvey'' to Connoire Bay. When the ship was damaged it lost power when the motor propulsion room and the space aft of it were flooded.〔 The lifeboat CCGS ''W.G. George'' was the first ship to arrive on scene. ''W.G. George'' towed ''Ann Harvey'' to the west. At 1:30 a.m. ''Louis S. St-Laurent'' arrived and took over. ''Ann Harvey'' was towed to a spot west of Burgeo in Connoire Bay, where Royal Canadian Navy divers inspected the ship's damage. Once temporary repairs were completed, the ship was towed to St. John's where permanent hull repairs were completed at NewDock St. John's Dockyard LTD. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「CCGS Ann Harvey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
