Summary
The Evelyn was the fishing tug that the November 1968 Beaver Beacon account associates with “Shing” Martin during the November 11, 1940 storm. As the storm arrived, Martin ran the tug onto the beach rather than attempting to hold it at the dock.
Evidence and limits
The source supports only the vessel name, fishing role, episode, and local association with “Shing” Martin. It does not identify a registry, dimensions, builder, or later history.
