If you could bring ships of west coast back from the dead to form a fleet, which ones would you have? The only rule to this is that the ships must be confirmed to be scrapped or lost at sea. Ships that are in service elsewhere, like the Queen of Prince Rupert, do not count.
I would have the following:
1. Princess Marguerite II
2. Kalakala
3. Sunshine Coast Queen
4. Queen of Victoria (She deserves a place here because of her somewhat cursed life)
5. Chinook (as originally built, before bow doors)

I would love to see the Chinook in her glory before having her bow cut off. I'm not sure where the old Princess of Vancouver is, but would love to see her again in her original livery. |

The Princess of Vancouver would definitely be a great addition. She is one vessel that I regret never sailing on. |

This thread would not be complete without a mention of the Queen of the North. But I'd certainly love to being back all those other ships.
