Great Photo's Flugel Horn.i love how you got pictures of the nimp sliding down into the water. On another note here are the photo's of where the AG Weser was. The place where the Queen of the North was built. Second is a further look and it seems that the ferry was built on a river next to the other river that connects the Kiel Canal. where our beautiful Coastal and Northern ferries passed.

Great Photo's Flugel Horn. i love how you were able to get pictures of the MV Nimpkish. i love how you got pictures of the nimp sliding down into the water. It was a fluke of timing, that they put her back into the water right when I was there. Thanks for the compliments. PS: I'll be doing some summer reading of a book on one of the North Vancouver shipyards (whichever one wasn't the Wallace family shipyards), so I'll likely have more to add to this thread in coming weeks.

For Mr Flugal the shipyard your talking about is actually a yard of Burrard Dry Dock. The company was in a different place and moved to where Burrard was located later on.

Flensburger, where the Super C's were built, as well as NorEx. I expected it to be much bigger.

Here's a tribute plaque to Mr. Yarrow, known by us for his shipyard that built some BC Ferries. The plaque is in the maritime section of the wall of plaques at the Victoria inner-harbour.

By a strange coincidence, the town I live in was named after the Yarrow family, as they were benefactors of the BC Electric railway during its construction, so the BCE repaid the kindness by naming one of the stations on its Fraser Valley line after them.

Water view of Point Hope Shipyard in Esquimalt. - this shipyard rebuilt the Quadra Queen II and will likely do the same for the Tachek. A variety of work: - tug - Twin-Otter floatplane - ferry dock dolphin

Could this dolphin be one of the new ones to be placed up at the Hornby terminal once it's reno is done? --Would they tow it up or carry it on a lift barge/ship?
