KNIGHT Updated information from ICES for the platform A. P. KNIGHT from CANADA. Code : 18AK Name : A. P. KNIGHT Flag : CANADA - CA (ISO Country Code) Platform Class : 36 Fishing vessel Commissioned Date : 1927 Decommissioned Date : 1974 Current Length : 23.5 Notes : WOD code 789. General-purpose fishing vessel. Acquired in 1927 by the Pacific biological Station, used on Canada's west coast mainly. Active until 1974 if not later. Had a hot surface stationary diesel engine taken out of an old power plant-1904 vintage-started up by lighting blow torches on the top. She also had a coal furnace, as gasoline engine for generating electricity, and a gas stove.
