A Tale of Two Ships: The Inside Passage Then and Now (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This richly illustrated travel book recounts two voyages that the author made along British Columbia's fabled Inside Passage; the first to Wales Island Cannery in the spring of 1947 on the Union Steamship Cardena, and the second in the fall of 2010 on the BC Ferry Northern Adventure. The book recreates both voyages in real time and compares and contrasts them. Reconstruction of the 1947 voyage is based on the Cardena's original pilot-house log books, found in the Provincial Archives permanent collection. Board the legendary Cardena now for a nostalgic, 60-hour journey in time as the ship travels up the rugged BC coast from Vancouver to the Nass River salmon cannery.

Autorenporträt

The author, now retired, was privileged to have grown up among the salmon canneries and gillnet camps that once flourished along the Nass and Skeena rivers on British Columbia's north coast. Forest, fish and the sea defined these remote communities, as did wooden boats, cedar cork-lines and the Easthope marine engine.
