A former owner of a sunken vessel in British Columbia's Strait of Georgia has identified the boat involved in the incident. The vessel, named 'Big Coast,' was a 30-foot aluminum KingFisher that the former owner sold more than four years ago. He stated that the boat was used for fishing and described it as a sturdy vessel. The boat sank off the coast of Richmond with 10 people on board, six of whom are presumed dead and four rescued. The former owner expressed concerns about the number of people on the boat and the absence of life jackets. The Automatic Identification System (AIS) remained linked to the TV show 'Big Coast' despite the sale, and the new owners were reportedly uncooperative in changing this information. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) continue search efforts using sonar technology.
