Court Line group was very large which included major shipping interests.
They had a tanker - Halcyon The Great (?) - at the oil refinery in Come-By-Chance NF when the bankruptcy writ came down. In the dead of night the crew warped her away from the dock using the spring lines instead of a tug and escaped, leading the RCMP on a merry chase down Placentia Bay. They got away with it too.
