Soviet Trawlers Detained Near Victoria for Fishing Violation
Canada detained two Soviet fishing trawlers Drushba and Ugolnyi at Ogden Point near Victoria for suspected violations of the 200 mile fishing limit. Officials say the ships were licensed to fish in the new zone but not in the La Perouse Banks area west of Vancouver Island. Masters will be interviewed and possible charges filed. The vessels, about 250 feet long with around 60 crew, were spotted five miles inside the restricted area.
