The Queen of Alberni's 8:15pm sailing on August 6, 2011 had an empty upper car-deck. - so I did a deck-level photo from each end. From the bow, notice the black-out curtains.  From the stern: - notice the view through the tunnel of the sunset remnant sky at the other end...  |

Some awful sounds emitted from the Alberni's No. 2 end whistle. Please adjust your volume level before playing this video. Whistle sounds on departure at :03. Was there a fourth note emitted there....?  |

Just acquired a very nice closeup of the Alberni circa 1976-1978. You can even see the tie on the bridge officer (in hand). My wife found it at a church sale for $5.00! Looks professionally taken or a promotional shot, measures 5.5 X 9.5 inches. On the back of the frame, it is identified as E.J. Bentley, A/ Supt. of Terminals, B.C.F.C., Deas Dock 1982. I figure the picture is between 1976 and 1978, as the masts are painted white, as they were when the C class were first built in '76. Since the Alberni had black masts when she grounded in '79, has to be before then. I quite like this view and will re-frame it to go with the model I have.  |

Queen of Alberni was a much nicer looking ship before it was lifted. It's much more in proportion with only one vehicle deck.

I like the Alberni just like I like the Chilliwack. They both are unique in their own way!

Queens of Oak Bay and Alberni are both headed for Departure Bay. - Oakie is scheduled to arrive at 12:10pm - Alberni is scheduled to arrive at 12:15pm. A nice shot with the trees of Jesse Island in the foreground and Entrance Island in the background:  Oakie passing Jesse Island  Oak Bay is in berth-2, Alberni is headed for berth-3    Oakie leaves, Alberni will follow 15minutes later.   |

Queen of Alberni seen from Gabriola Island on Dec.30, 2011. - various angles, various trips during the day, in various weather and lighting. Sechelt in the background  Is one mast higher than the other? Yes, it is.  Close to Departure Bay  In the afternoon - I love the clouds & mountains  With a freighter that's headed for Nanaimo.  |
