Maybe DougUBell wants to buy it?? I just thought I would throw that in there seeing he has something negative always with the Mill Bay!! Naw that's OK. I don't want to ruin Quinsam's dream.  By the way. Rather than calling me DougUbell, just call me Doug, aight? ;D |

OK Doug,
Why not buy the Mill Bay then scrap her and try and make some money - if that is what most people on the forum think?

Thanks Doug, Mill bay deserves a new life, she has survived for nearly 50 years and is a historical artifact.
What will happen when 2015 comes along and children about my age now don't know about the oldest ferry service in the Province?

How many people your age know about the ferry service between Kelsey Bay and Port Hardy before the Island Highway was completed?
EDIT: Also, how many people your age know about the ferry service between Westview and Kelowna? Or for that matter the Burrard Inlet or Fraser River Ferries?

i know everything there is to know about the Fraser River Marine Transportation Ltd. Company. The FRMT (or Albion Ferries) used to be a company that my dad had a hand in running. before he left for the lynx

But I know about the Burrard inlet ferries, used to be car ships untill the bridges were built, then 19 years later they have passenger bus-type ferries(Seabus)

Mill bay is a piece of BC history, what would you do if a ferry being sold was one you were fascinated in?

If you had a few million dollars, you could afford to buy old ferries, and keep them......just like a car collector does with old cars.
Not that it would cost a few million$ to buy 1 ship, but if you'd need a place to put it, and the cash to enjoy it....as well as other fine pleasures in life. Or maybe just buy an old ferry, and sail it to a remote inlet, and live our your days on a coastal inlet in an old ferry.

OK Doug, Why not buy the Mill Bay then scrap her and try and make some money - if that is what most people on the forum think? Barring the fact I know you don't meen that in a literal way, or at least I hope not, scrappers themselves can make money but adding a middle man would surely be a bad idea. Moreover, I think since I've started paying attention (1995?) BC Ferries has, more or less, sold ships as functionaly vessels to whomever wants them, really. I saw one of the smaller ships just sitting at Campbell River a mere two weeks ago. |
