I am a volunteer researching for a pending history book on Sea Island, B.C.
In May 1990, a Mr. Gordon BICKNELL, was interviewed about the history of Sea
Island (now deceased).  He mentioned, "One year (1900 - 1930?), 17 fisherman
drowned in a bad storm in the Gulf of Georgia, supposedly Japanese-Canadians
from Sea Island."

Does anyone know where I could turn to to find the date(s) and details of
this event.  I have tried Richmond, National, and B.C. Archives, the various
Internet search engines, and I've talked to several fishermen.  No luck.

Ideas or suggestions welcome!    Thanks
Doug in Nanaimo, B.C.
