December 2011 Loving the Queen of Cumberland's West Coast interior. It was my first ride since her much earlier refurbishment. A gloomy British Columbia day. I would expect no less. Had spent most of the sailing outside. Arriving 10 minutes late to Pender with a light load. I enjoy the lighting and clouds here. The Coastal Celebration, framed by safety. Tables, a great feature on this vessel to be sure. Of the few passengers aboard most were taking advantage of them. Some relics to a time of signage gone by. Except on the Cumberland, where it is the present. Don't think there are too many publicly labeled Nemetz lights around the fleet. Not to be taken lightly.

Queen of Cumberland with Spirit of Vancouver Island in distance - near Swartz Bay - summer 2000. Note anniversary logo on the side just above the BC 'Spirit' logo commemorating 40 years of BC Ferries (1960-2000). They took more pride in their history at that time then is the case today. photo © Mr. DOT by Wett Coast, on Flickr[/size]

Wett Coast - do we know how many ships received the special anniversary logo on the side?
I recall seeing that logo on the BC Ferries website, but I never knew that it had been on the ships.
P.S. Thank you D.O.T. for taking all these wonderful photos, and getting your brother to scan them! It's been a treat every day seeing new photos be posted!

Wow, I never realized they had used that logo on the Cumberland. I remember seeing both of the Spirits having that 40th logo on their funnels that year. I don't ever recall seeing that logo on the Capilano though.

I too knew that those logos were on the Spirits, but do not recall them being on other vessels. Obviously they were on at least one, the Q Cumber. I will keep looking for such on other negatives that I have acquired from Mr. DOT.
Do you suppose, say 10 years down the road, if people will be wondering whether or not 2010 Olympics logos were placed only on the Coastal class vessels, or if they might have been on others too. Perhaps they will wonder why not on other vessels?
Will you be able to give answers?

Perhaps they will wonder why not on other vessels? Will you be able to give answers? Well the Coastal Class, being a trio of the 3 largest double-ended ferries in the World, were being delivered from their 'berthplace' in Germany just a couple years before the 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver. As a marketing campaign, Vanoc partnered with BC Ferries to have these giant promotional murals pasted onto the sides of all three ships to raise awareness and support for the Games. The ferries stopped at ports along the way to Canada, such as London, and I believe the Canary Islands, and served as a backdrop for promotional presentations while the ships were being delivered to Canada. Once in service with BCF, the murals served, still, as a promotion for the Games, and as a way for the general public to be able to tell apart the 'new boats' from the other, older ferries, while raising hype, potentially enough to garner extra profits from tourists wanting to ride the 'Painted German Wonderboats'. The designs on the sides of the ships also just so happened to win a Guiness World Record for the largest ever application of a stick-on label. That's the best I've got

The wraps on the hangar doors at Boeing's Everett plant are still bigger, I believe. I think WCK was getting at the question the ferry geeks might be asking in 10 years, as to whether the wraps were installed on all the ships in the fleet or just the Coastals, just as we are currently wondering whether the 40th anniversary logo was on any ships other than the Spirits.

A couple views of the area and stairway-access doors for the Cumberland's platform decks. - seen November 10, 2012 And a video of the contents of her Cumberland town display case. - slowed-down video (sorry for the sideways portion)
