Hmm.. $50,000... 1000 members on this forum... $50 a person sounds good to me  In all seriousness it's really cool to see the inside shots. In photos 110 & 134 is that dogwood carpet? |

Oh dear, the old girl is referred to as a 'barge'. Well, I guess any formerly powered vessel that has lost its propulsion is just a barge. Pretty amazing that something that big with that amount of usable space is only $50k. Jeez... it's got wiring and plumbing and even food facilities... how many homeless people could it house with some modifications, if it could be docked somewhere in Vancouver and hooked up to power and sewage? Just shows how little value steel has right now compared to the cost of ship breaking, and also the cost of finding a home for such a big vessel, and the expense of maintaining it. |

I have looked at al the photos of the exterior and interior of that vessel a few times and continue to wonder as to what the 'venture' was that the owners were involved in. All that equipment, gear, fittings, furniture obviously didn't come cheap, so I wonder: a) what was going on at that location, b) who was doing it, someone was financing all that equipment. c) the heli-pad is interesting, and for what purpose? If the vessel sold for $85,000 did that amount buy the whole lot, equipment, fitt3ings etc? If so, one could imagine recouping the buying price by selling off the equipment, furnishings etc. ( Even those green padded chairs, they were "originals" from day 1. "Imagine what those poor seats have had to endure since the TSW hit the waves"... |

BC Ferries' retired vessel Queen of Tsawwassen probably on Route 9 somewhere in BC's Southern Gulf Islands (I believe).

From our earlier discussion on Southern Gulf Islands service in the late 80s / early 90s, could have also been on Route 5. |

Looks like it’s already been vandalized on the funnel and the bridge. |

Question: Does anyone have the Queen of Tsawwassen's last BCF deck plan/blueprint/drawing? I'd like to compare it to the Queen of Sidney's last BCF drawing.
