Gulf Stream sinking display, at Powell River Museum - this steamer grounded on Dinner Rock and sank, in October 1947. ![](http://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-IyD33L6JU9E/UG0N08KtFuI/AAAAAAAARqs/sn4NE6BPYUU/s0/IMG_2748-20122.JPG) ----------------- re the Gulf Stream, forum member "Bert" has some family history that he shared with me in a message (and he's given me permission to post that here):

A photo-essay of a model of the SS Iroquois (the Vancouver Island version) seen by me at the Sidney Museum in October 2013. Here are some explanatory items from the model display: ![](http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-qKLFc_7cWL8/UrEfwstff0I/AAAAAAAAV88/3X8YBXyNdZs/s0/IMG_2851-2013.JPG) Her sad story: ![](http://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-RClLgXz8mNg/UrEfvk4O3mI/AAAAAAAAV80/j_cNsrGAy6I/s0/IMG_2850-2013.JPG) =============================== Just like with a real ship, different photo angles yield different views. Here are some of them: ![](http://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-W4XmZnN5PLo/UrEfsM1Db4I/AAAAAAAAV8c/SSSweL3kzto/s0/IMG_2847-2013.JPG) ![](http://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-HzVEJOCiU3Q/UrEfuc5X83I/AAAAAAAAV8s/oZw2nS4WmSU/s0/IMG_2849-2013.JPG) ![](http://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-FdhjEuwYHQ8/UrEftT9v2UI/AAAAAAAAV8k/A-ohuZGYXko/s0/IMG_2848-2013.JPG) The anchor is a nice addition to the scene ![](http://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-nnnOh2c878U/UrEfxuLSA-I/AAAAAAAAV9E/0b_kVzCfUmA/s0/IMG_2852-2013.JPG)

I always thought the Iroquois was a cute little thing. Her propeller is on display at Iroquois Park, in Sidney just opposite Tulista Park and the WSF terminal.

Dawn shot of Ucluelet's Canadian Princess, the former William J. Stewart. - morning of November 27, 2014. A brief break in the rain, and I had my opportunity. ![](http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-xnmUPz-Rgeg/VHkwEVb8zDI/AAAAAAAAYjc/OOikAmw2vS4/s0/DSC05028a-2014.JPG)

Here's my view of the Canadian Princess Resort ship at Ucluelet, seen on April 20, 2015.
I enjoyed viewing this ship from the marina floats and the shore pathway, during my week of work at Ukee. Unfortunately, she was not yet open for dinners for the season.

This black and white “Howe Sound Cruise” video from about 1940 shows what I believe are the following ships, in order of appearance: tinyurl.com/y7gaea42Lady Alexandra Capilano Princess Kathleen or Marguerite Lady Pam North Vancouver Ferry No. 4 Unknown distant passenger vessel Lady Pam West Vancouver No. 6 Prince Rupert Various tugs Comox ferry at log boom (Bowen Island–Whytecliff ferry 1939-41) Sannie IV Frolic 1 When the steamer approaches the dock at Snug Cove, it first passes the Comox float, but the Comox is moored at a log boom – possibly it had to be moved whenever the steamer arrived. I wonder if anyone knows where in Howe Sound the Frolic 1 is coming from – there is a long pier in the background.
