HMCS ProspectorKevin MacLean Oceanwood, wire, surplus obsolete hardware, found objects, watch parts, metal scraps 8" X 26" x 1. 5" The PROSPECTOR was so named for her abilities in battle to detect an enemy vessel similar in design to the FLOUNDER that was copied by enemy forces after capture in 1941. So successful a design was the PROSPECTOR that she was used in deep sea mining after the war. A trundle latch mid hull served as a counterbalance to her long bow.
