All I can think is - take a photo on a diagonal angle, in order to capture more of a wide-and-tall image. - then rotate the picture, so that the subject is level. The result is some large corner-gaps.

I had plenty of views of Queen of Capilano on Oct.1, 2010, from shore, from aboard and from other ships. First, some views of her at Horseshoe Bay, showing the passenger walk-way. - When I boarded, a lady who has a height-phobia was having a tough-time with the walk. - and the plank on the Cappie. -------------- The rescue-boat. - photo taken at Snug Cove. That's the Surrey in the background. Her license: A peek inside: - this photo was taken 9/21/2010. Colour effect is from evening light. Passenger seating:

- Does anyone know what the thing is on the centre-casing (just above the car-deck) that looks like a dark anchor outline? Isn't it for indicating how many degrees the vessel may be listing so the deck crew can keep an eye on it during loading?

It IS for indicating how many degrees the ship is listing, but it's not only for during loading. Anytime while the ship is afloat, this device measures the angle that the ship is listing. Traditionally, these were used on sailing ships to determine if the ship was listing at a safe angle. On the Pacific Swift, the Listometer (that's what we called it aboard) is located just under the aft cabin hatch, near the bottom of this photo. Usually, if the arrow is off the meter, the ship is listing too far. With the 'Swift however, the rule is at 90 degrees, the ship is safe. At 91 degrees, head to your assembly station.

During my Oct.1, 2010 visit to Bowen Island, I also found a beach vantage point, on the north side of Snug Cove, near the point. - I found my access at the end of Cardena Rd. Here's a collection of beach-level angles of the Cappie as she comes and goes to/from Snug Cove in the afternoon. ------------------------ - I like the effect of the small boat, which is passing behind the ferry. - entering Snug Cove --------------- And now, the departure from Snug Cove. - get that sailboat out of the way

October 1, 2010 pictures of a departing Queen of Capilano. Photos taken from the south-side marina wharf in Snug Cove: I really like this vantage point. Gorgeous mountains, too bad there's no snow yet. I love these low, from-the-water shots. They make even minor vessels look huge and impressive. It used to be a trick used in advertising back in the day when everyone wanted their steamship to be the largest/fastest, etc. Joe Williamson took many photos from this angle from his boat the Photo Queen. Er, I think that was the name of it. Emory will correct me if I'm wrong. Anyway, most excellent photo!

Thank you.

A few common Queen of Capilano photos. She's going into refit soon, so those rust-stains beneath her windows may or may not be gone after. Approaching Horseshoe Bay. What is the pole with the triangle-shaped things sticking out the sides? Approaching the Queen of Oak Bay. In berth at the bay of the Horseshoe. Leaving once more. And at the end of the day, once my camera battery died, and I had to switch to my little point-and-shoot, the nice photo weather actually came. But anyways, here's that one:

Interesting article. It shines a different light on the ferry, not as a means of transport, but more as a community lifeline, a meeting-place of Bowen's residents. They really love their ferry, and they miss it, and as always, aren't necessarily too happy about some of the changes coming to their boat. Makes for a laugh or two too!

Queen of Capilano and Oak Bay Racing Each Other Out of Horseshoe Bay on June 24th, 2011. Oaky has the Early Lead. But Cappy is Closing In. Inching Ever Closer. She's Overtaking. Cappy is Winning the Race. But Wait! She's Going the Wrong Way.
