And Cap, I was a guest of yours on board the Saskatchewan Pioneer in the late 80's.
My experience is 37 years with Transport Canada.

No Dave I can assure you that she was Canadian and registered in Thunder Bay.
Only on trials from the builder until she was handed over to Richardsons did she have techicnally have British registry.
I was master on her for 8 years and I think I am knowledgable about this period.
I was also there for the change to Isle of Man when the Canadian crew were changed to Indian mates and engineers and PRC crew.

When the Pioneer was first registered, she was British, as you say in 89 she was Isle of Man, then Singapore, then the Lady Hamilton as Canadian again.

Saskatchewan Pioneer with call sign VWCK was registered in Thunder bay until January 1989 when the registry was closed and a new registry was opened in Castletown Isle of Man.
Although the Red Ensign was the flg at the stern it was Not British.
Isle of Man is (they are proud to say) not British
