Service history
The vessel was constructed by Versatile Pacific Shipyards at their yard in Vancouver, British Columbia with the yard number 557.[2] The ship entered service with the Canadian Coast Guard in October 1990 but was not completed until December 1991.[2]Script error: No such module "Footnotes".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".

In October 2014, the Russian container ship Script error: No such module "WPSHIPS utilities". lost the use of its engines near environmentally sensitive Haida Gwaii.[3][4] Gordon Reid was the first vessel to try to tow the disabled vessel to keep the container ship from running aground. However, Gordon ReidTemplate:'s own engines were not powerful enough. The American ocean-going tugboat Script error: No such module "WPSHIPS utilities".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". was dispatched from nearby Prince Rupert, British Columbia to tow the disabled Russian vessel.[5][6] In November 2015, the American-flagged cargo ship North Star lost power while transiting from Anchorage, Alaska to Tacoma, Washington. Gordon Reid was deployed to aid the ship, but North Star managed to get her engines going again and arrived in port without assistance.[7] In October 2020, Gordon Reid rescued two people from the sailboat Second Star after it lost steering in the Pacific Ocean.[8]
