 I always thought this was a nice looking ferry. Capacity: 215 cars. |

I'm sure it would do well as a replacement for the 'Wack.

It sits high out of the water in that photo, must mean that it is empty or something.

I cant believe they are scrapping the Abby.
She was built in 1982, shes not even old.

The Confederation looks a bit like the new intermediate vessel for BCF.
Only the new intermediate vessel will have more windows.

If that's the ferry from eastern PEI to Nova Scotia, then I've likely been on it. |

NO, why is the ferry hideous, I see what you mean now doug!
You do not like ferries that are not on the BC Coast!
You say, oh, this one is european so it is ugly! Well, you should look at it first.

NO, why is the ferry hideous, I see what you mean now doug! huh? I don't understand this line. "NO" "why is this ferry hidious" (should there be a ? there?) "I see what you mean..." You do not like ferries that are not on the BC Coast! You say, oh, this one is european so it is ugly! Well, you should look at it first. I don't get it... what side are you on? |

No Harry...that's not the truth. I like the Marine Atlantic ferries. I (generally) like the Washington State Ferries. I like the Alaska State Ferries. MOST of the ferries in Europe are either nice looking vessels (like the Baltic Sea), or fine looking (like a couple on the Dover Strait). Many, however, I don't like. Do I like the Mill Bay? Not really....

Harry get over it, it is his opinion and you do not know what he does, THIS IS NOT A FORUM TO ARGUE ON IT IS TO TALK ABOUT FERRIES! Leave the arguments in the garbage unless they are ferry arguments (like Pacificats good or not) an argument called a debate. |
