CCGS Simon Fraser is a buoy tender once operated by the Canadian Coast Guard.[1][2][3] She was built, in 1960, at the Burrard Dry Docks, in Vancouver, British Columbia. She was modernized in 1986, at Versatile Marine, Montreal, Quebec. She dispaces 1353 gross tons. She is staffed by a crew of 24.
She played a role in searching for wreckage that could show the cause of the crash of Swiss Air Flight 111.[4]
In 1999 she escorted the Nadon on a transit of the Northwest Passage, which was recreating the historic 1940-42 transit of the RCMP St Roch.[5]
After her decommissioning the Simon Fraser, and her sister ship the CCGS Tupper, was sold for conversion into a yacht and charter vessel in Italy.[6]
