The Long House-type had the main deck house extending aft over the engine room, with the bulwarks extending the entire length of the hull. They were powered by an 8-cylinder diesel engine built by the Vivian Engine Works, Vancouver. The Short House-type had a shorter main deck house with a trunk style house over the engine room, with raised bulwarks forward and aft. They were powered by a 6-cylinder diesel engine built by the Enterprise Engine & Foundry Company, San Francisco.
