[6] The trawler was intended for minesweeping duties, but was also used as a patrol and coastal convoy escort vessel along the shipping lanes on the East Coast of Canada.

In 1921 together with other vessels of the class TR 14 was brought to the United Kingdom and laid up at the Muirtown Basin, Caledonian Canal, Inverness, to await conversion and sale.

In August 1926 TR 14 was bought by the Boston Deep Sea Fishing and Ice Company, Grimsby, registered in Fleetwood, United Kingdom and renamed Pasages.

[8] On 3 December 1931, under the command of her skipper William James, whilst making passage back to Fleetwood from fishing grounds off the northwest coast of Ireland, Pasages encountered a severe south-westerly gale with associated sleet and rain as she transited the North Channel.

[1] Given the plight affecting Pasages, her skipper decided to send up distress flares which were in turn seen in Ramsey resulting in District Officer Lace, of His Majesty's Coastguard, initiating the rescue attempt.

The Rocket Corps then managed to secure the line and brought the remainder of the crew off Pasages by means of a breeches buoy.

Due to the sea state following the rescue the Peel Lifeboat was unable to return home and subsequently diverted to Ramsey.
