Narrative
On 23 June 2000, the tug 10D34138 was landing a barge at Lac des Deux Montagnes, Quebec. Appendix B of the Transportation Safety Board of Canada's report M18P0230 records that the tug girded and capsized during the operation. This concise historical entry establishes the vessel, date, location, barge operation, and broad mechanism. It does not describe the towing arrangement, line handling, steering, weather or current, the manoeuvre immediately before girding, or the sequence of the capsize. It also does not state whether anyone was injured or killed, whether the barge was damaged, whether pollution occurred, or what became of the tug. No verified damage, recovery, or financial-loss figure is provided. The available evidence supports a minimal occurrence record, but not a detailed causal reconstruction or consequence assessment.
