April / May 2018 - Seaspan Ferries Past & Present

[Mike]

With the quiet retirement of the Seaspan Doris, the um.. semi-retirement of the Carrier Princess and the recent new arrivals from Turkey, I thought it would be a good time to have a Seaspan themed flagship. 

For the April / May flagship, I am looking for photos of Seaspan Ferries Past & Present.

- I am only looking for photos of the Seaspan rail / truck trailer ferries

- I will accept photos of Seaspan vessels in their previous owner's liveries

- Photos of Seaspan pusher tug and barges will not be accepted

Rules:

Entries will be accepted up until March 29, 2018 at 9:00 PM, voting will take place over the following two days.

I actually prepared this photo for use in last month's flagship, but ending up not using it.  I will use it this time around ...

Another submission from me, this of the Carrier Princess in Active Pass back in 2010.  The CP is (was), IMHO, the best looking of Seaspan's fleet.  She will be missed ...

Here's my entry for the next group of FFS.  This is the MV DORIS YORKE as photographed by me in the early 1970s from my dad's boat on Puget Sound.  She was ferrying rail cars from Seattle to a BC destination.  Not as clear as I wanted to deliver here.  It was taken with my first camera, a simple Argus with 126 film.  Nevertheless, this is an historic photo showing her original name and with a "Y" on her funnels.  As you all know, she was renamed SEASPAN DORIS.  She was my all time favorite (favourite) train ship.
