Raw Spirit, Independent Seafood Canada - Alberni Inlet - 21 May 2019
Photo taken from the passing Frances Barkley en route to Bamfield.
Note: I believe this thread is misplaced where it currently 'resides'. I think it belongs under the "Other Forms of Transportation" category, specifically the marine side of that.

Okay, I am thinking that this photo is misplaced in a thread for 'working boats', but this is where I have previously put photos of West Coast launch aka Prince Rupert Adventure Tours boats. The pictures that I put up previously showed some of their fleet working in 'crew boat' roles for Rio Tinto in Kitimat/Kemano. This photo, however, was taken in Prince Rupert just before my wife & I embarked on a full day bear watching tour up to the Khutzeymateen Grizzly Bear Sanctuary (BC Parks). Though we saw no bears, we saw both humpback whales (bubble net feeding) & orcas, not to mention other stuff along the way. This is a tour I would recommend.

This vessel ferries work crews between Kitimat & Kemano on behalf of Rio Tinto (formerly Alcan, my employer for 35 years, prior to my 2011 retirement).
In the background you can see a portion of the Rio Tinto Alcan aluminium smelter complex.

I think that this boat is not 'working' too much anymore. It is, however, something to watch for if you find yourself in Ganges, on beautiful Saltspring Island. |

Great photo there Jim. Now, where did they get that big round Provincial Crest?? Wonder if it came from one of the now departed 7 sisters? There's a great picture there and a back story to boot!  |

Dockwise 'Ship Shipping Ship' Triumph, a semi-submersible 'heavy lift vessel' loading smaller water craft yesterday in Kitimat Harbour. A large dredging company called Boskalis has now completed a three-year contract to dredge Kitimat Harbour to allow deeper draft ships into what will be LNG Canada's marine terminal, as well as the adjacent Rio Tinto wharves. It is Boskalis' vessels & equipment that are being shipped out.
