Ahhrgh!!! I hate to think of the Queen of Vancouver as scrap or a barge... If only I had a spare million or two.

Ahhrgh!!! I hate to think of the Queen of Vancouver as scrap or a barge... If only I had a spare million or two. So that spare $2 million would be needed for: - $200,000 for purchase of ship - $1.8 million for moorage & upkeep to keep it out of people's way to to keep it from polluting the water, for "x" number of years that you intend to hold it. ....and after your money runs out, keep it like the Sidney on the Fraser river ? I think the scrap yard is the more logical alternative for an asbestos laden ship. --------------- Now for me, for my own illogical dream, if I had a home on the waterfront with lots of land, I'd love to acquire the Queen of Vancouver's wheelhouse, have it cleaned and made safe, and use it for part of my yard. Would be a neat out-building, with the bridge windows facing the sea. - a great place for a sitting room. |

Get used to that idea, I fear that both the Vancouver and Saanich will meet with the cutters torch just as the Victoria and Esquimalt have.  It's a sad truth But the pictures we have taken will last forever in history.  The V's served us very well since they began in the 60's. Since their end is near, I plan to recreate the deck plans of these glorous workhorses and share them for other uses. Since they were first built, they've gone through two major rebuilds. I feel these are a historical engineering marvel. My other planned projects is to recreate the original deck plans of the V's when they were first built. this includes the Sidney Class, before they extended the back. |
