CCGS Cape Fox is one of the Canadian Coast Guard's 36 Cape-class motor lifeboats.[1][2]
She and a sister vessel, CCGS Cape Norman, serve the northern coast of Newfoundland. Her home port is Lark Harbour.[3]
Cape Fox and Cape Norman were built in 2002 at Victoria Shipyards, Victoria, British Columbia.[3][4] The two vessels were shipped from Vancouver to New York City aboard another vessel, where they proceeded under their own power.

One interesting story I have seen in my job experience is about the journey of two vessels, the Cape Fox and Cape Norman. They are two 47' motor life boats weighing approximately 34 tonnes and were built by Victoria Shipyards in British Columbia. These two vessels were actually loaded into another ship on Vancouver Island and then the ship sailed through the Panama Canal to the Port of New York, the reason for this being that the ship could not unload in a Canadian port due to regulations. These two vessels (Cape Fox and Cape Norman) actually sailed under their own power to Dartmouth and then eventually to Newfoundland and Labrador. This was quite a long and interesting journey for these two little vessels!
