Maybe Flugel Horn could get some, or Raymond_Chow. The Baron is normaly sitting next to the Wellcox Yards, go to the wooden bridge that goes over the Railyard, and there is a huge container ship there, that is it. The bridge is located near Crace St on Esplanade.

I would like some information on the Cargo Ship in Nanaimo that has been sitting there for 10 months. Baron, she is in Wellcox Yards, if you know where that is.

Yes, Baron and Knight have just been sitting there Brand New for the past 4 or 5 years. They are Cable Ships, and are Cargo Vessels too, or they were meant to be.

They look like Kang & his friend....the aliens that appear on "The Simpsons" at haloween.
Or maybe only I see the resemblance.

Baron and Knight have been sitting there for the last 2-3 years, and plan to stay there for another few years. Here is a link on them for more information www.dieselduck.ca/images/Baron_Knight/Also, I saw a Frigate in Sidney Waters near Sidney Island today, it was maybe on a training exercise. I didn't have the Camera with me, but I was just sunbathing on the beach, with the tide in High, the M.V Elwha came in, then the biggest waves hit Glass Beach. My freind there was drenched, he said ''Stupid Ferry'', but he also liked to climb the wall of the beach, near the whale watching terminal.

Yes, they are newer than the Spirits, they were supposed to be used for some Submarine Company, but they are just sitting there now.

A shame they arn't used soon they will rust up.

Post by Quinsam on Jul 19, 2005 7:11:42 GMT -8
They are thinking of remaining there for another few years. I wonder if they could be used as normal cargo freighter ships.
