Narrative
The Transportation Safety Board of Canada lists Cricket No. 1 as a tug occurrence on 2 July 2008 in the Taku River, British Columbia. The occurrence description states that the tug girded and nearly capsized while manoeuvring a barge. The available TSB material is an occurrence-level annex entry rather than a dedicated investigation report for this event. It does not describe the manoeuvre in further detail, identify the tow, state whether anyone was injured, or quantify damage or pollution. Those consequences remain unreported in the material used for this page.
