On June 20, 1942, the Japanese submarine I-25 torpedoes and shells the SS Fort Camosun off Cape Flattery. The crew abandons ship, but before it sinks it is towed to safety in Neah Bay by the Canadian corvette Edmuston. The freighter is saved by the crews of rescuing ships and by the fact that its cargo of plywood provides buoyancy. No lives are lost.
