Summary

[edit]
Description

Taken when David was using a Kodak Instamatic; remember them?

The Island Princess was then a privately owned ferry (Coast Ferries). In 1969 the ferry, and the route it served (Kelsey Bay - Beaver Cove), were acquired by the BC Government and became part of BC Ferries. In 1971 the ferry was radically modified, being lengthened & widened in the process of becoming a catamaran. Her auto capacity was more than doubled and she became 'ro-ro' for all types of vehicles. In 1974 her name was changed to North Island Princess (the NIP) at the request of P&O/ Princess Cruises who were operating in BC waters a somewhat larger vessel with the same name.
