Among the Vancouver Harbour Board's duties were the management of fireboats like the Orion.

The Vancouver Harbour Board was created by Canada's Federal Parliament in 1914.[1] The Board was responsible for a recommendation that the Federal government should dredge the First Narrows of Vancouver's Burrard Inlet, allowing larger ocean-going vessels to moor in Vancouver's inner harbour.

The Harbour Board operated harbour support vessels, like steam-powered fireboat Orion.[2]
