Recently in my school's info tech class we've been learning the basics of HTML. Finally it makes sense to me! So I decided to make a site on (No Surprise Here) BC Ferries...Particularly information on the BC Ferries and routes in the Area of Powell River. Earlier today I uploaded it onto freewebs. So without further typing, I introduce you to... The Ship-Rider's Guide to Powell River Ferries(If you noticed and are wondering, Yes, The name is a parody of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy) |

Congatulations PR Northern Teen16, this serves as an excellent resource for people who are new to the Coast. Well done with the history of the routes as well.  |

I was pleased to see that you did a lot (or all?) of the write-ups yourself.
I compared to John's "Ferry Terminal" writeups, and was pleased to see that you took the "no plagerism route". That can be tough, when there are so many ship-descriptions on the internet, all with the same basic data.
I think that you might have the internet's first description of the recently-upgraded Queen of Burnaby. That's pretty cool, as I know you have a keen interest in that ship.
I guess this proves that school (HTML lessons) can be fun?

The only words that are Plagerised are my own words and those words were even modified. |

A small correction: the Island Princess didn't actually start off on the Kelsey Bay- Beaver Cove - Sointula - Alert Bay run. Prior to late 1961, Coast Ferries used her on a run from Steveston to the Gulf Islands, and during that time they also tried an overnight run between Steveston- Powell River- Texada Island- Comox.
