Seaspan Trader - New Ferry!
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.2 года назад
Seaspan Ferries’ newest addition to the fleet, the Seaspan Trader, passes Steveston, BC. While looking quite similar to the Swift and Reliant, there are notable differences in her design, largest of all being the huge, floor-to-ceiling bridge windows. She’s empty in this video, despite having taken her first revenue load earlier in the week, so perhaps this was an additional test run, or reposi...

Cool. Love this!
Thank you! 😁🙏
Qual seria o preço deste ferrie.
Thank you for sharing this. Cheers. 😁👍
Leighton, please contact me. I have something I would like you to have for your archives. Seen a bunch of your photos and this video and your music has proven to me that you have become a very talented artist.
Hi David, thanks for reaching out. So glad you enjoy the vids!
The longest serving BC Ferry and still to this day as of 2024.
I passed by Deas Docks the other day, the old girl is still docked there.
I'd love to see this vessel back up and running again
Wow I did not realize how much a Spirit Class makes a C Class look so small. That’s crazy, especially when they have damn near the same vehicle capacity..
built for the Great Lakes!
It's neat to see them all lined up to get a good perspective of the scale of the various ships. I thought the C class ships were big but then you see the spirit of british columbia and there is quite a difference there.
can you send the link for the song?
The music is our original composition for this video. It exists only in this video and isn’t available for use elsewhere. Thanks for enquiring.
The Princess Superior is now tied up at Seaspan's Duke Point terminal
October 1, 2022 was the last time I traveled on the Mayne Queen. (I've traveled on her many times.) I visited her bridge for my third and last time that day. Sad to see her go... Great Video! MAKE A VIDEO FOR THE POWELL RIVER QUEEN PLEASE!!!
Tall and proud!
cool video, Liked and subscribed. What drone are you using?
Thanks! It’s a DJI Mini 2.
This is so cool. I love watching ships from Steveston!
It's sad all the old classic ships from the BC ferries are gone. The only one left is the new Westminster
How long does She even have left? That rebuilt she got in 2008 only gave her an extra 15 years of service right?
Thats not true. theres the Queen of Oak Bay, Queen of Surrey, Queen of Alberni, Queen of Cowichan, and the Queen of Coquitlam.
She was a good old ship so many memories
Adore this ❤🛳
She was a special ship. She will be missed.
Everything you make is gorgeous, musically and video-ly (?) especially!
Thank you! We love what we do! 😊❤
Lovely HD footage which really shows off her state of disrepair. At least she will spend her final days "home", at Deas Dock, before making a final trip to the cutters torch. It's a shame, but these are old ships, and not financially viable to make seaworthy. Nostalgia can be a bitch. I spent 22 years working on the Queen of Saanich, and was pretty gutted when she was scrapped, after trying to find a buyer for her. Hoped she would make it to somewhere, for a few more years, and was sad to see her basically as a derelict. Thanks for the video StevestonShips !
Down in my collection I have video of her doing her last run from Westview to Little River
Excellent vid 👍
Will be a sad day when she is retired. Though she has outserved all of her V class sisters at this point. I hope someone buys her and keeps her in some kind of function that people can still appreciate.
For a while she was named "Princess Margueritte lll" , painted in a special livery, and ran the route between Victoria Ogden Point and Seattle. I was lucky enough to make that trip on her in her last season (1999) on a beautiful day - happy memories - hope that a way is found for her to survive.
Did this past mission
nope. It doesn't pass mission.
What’s happening with the Carrier Princess these days?
No idea. Haven’t heard anything about her in ages!
@@StevestonShips Last I heard she was moored at Duke Point.
@@Dbodell8000 I think I can confirm that… @Northcoast Drone posted a video of the Seaspan Transporter approaching the Nanaimo terminal and I’m certain I saw the Carrier Princess sitting at the dock. A bit distant but I know that shape!
@@StevestonShips Thanks very much😁
FOURTH!…. Just feeding the algorithm.
Design based on the (still operating) MV Coho? Seems like old Pacific NW ferries have a hard time finding meaningful work (or any work!) once out of gov't service.
Can’t speak for PNW Ferries but several old BC Ferries have found second lives in Fiji, where Goundar Shipping has been using them for a number of years. And yes, the Coho was the design inspiration for the first two BC Ferries, Queens of Tsawwassen and Sydney, but subsequent versions, like the Burnaby, lengthened the passenger lounge areas and had less foredeck.
The burnaby's sister queen of nanaimo got scrapped 2 months ago
@@rykerwilliams1533 I wonder why it was scrapped. I enjoy to know the reasons. That shipping company in fiji didn't seem to have it for very long.
@@greego5952 The reason that she was scrapped was most likely from the asbestos and the vessel starting to become not seaworthy they did not want to use her in stormy weather anymore Also the outside decks were falling apart and the engines were not working properly and when she went off she only had one engine operating and also when she left for Fiji she had used parts from queen of Burnaby also the parking deck was in really ruff condition and the vessel had many other issues that Ill explain later on.
@@rykerwilliams1533 Thank you. Yeah I remember the Queen of Burnaby being a rust bucket so the queen of nanaimo was probably similar.
Can i ask where it is currently docked? I would like to see it at some point while im here in BC. maybe maybe a documentary of it; even including the Sidney which I saw just a few days ago, unfortunately I wasn't allowed to film or board that vessel. I asked the woman who lives in that area. I am from the SAIT FVPO, looking for areas too film.
She’s currently docked at the BC Ferries fleet maintenance facility in Richmond. You’d need permission from them to go aboard, but never hurts to ask. Good luck!
@@StevestonShips thanks dude!
@@StevestonShips I asked them today, They said It would be best for me to see active vessels not a ship thats decommisioned, pretty much.
Nice vessel she is she and queen of oak bay were built in 1981 to be in cowichian.class bc ferries in total they are five sisters in cowichian class queen of alberni queen of cowichian queen of coquitlam queen of oak bay and finally the queen of surrey Victoria Burnaby class had seven sister ships
Correct! 😊
Wonderful ship. She’ll always be my favourite!
Could be a good investment for someone with resources. Looks in fairly good shape. Remember, Carnival Cruise Lines only started with one ship.
According to BCF, she’s not seaworthy. However, I think she’d make a great floating museum/venue for all sorts of things. Hopefully there’s someone with a creative solution that doesn’t involve scrapping her!
@@StevestonShips I agree and like I said..."With Resources"! "Not seaworthy" covers many things. As long as the hull and structure are solid, everything else can be replaced. She still has some life in her with the right hands!
They should have kept the Nanaimo. I understand she was in better shape than the Burnaby.
@@Dbodell8000 You’re correct, the Burnaby was put up for sale with the explicit understanding that she was not seaworthy, so couldn’t be bought and used immediately as a sea going vessel without extensive work. The Nanaimo was sold in better shape and is still sailing today, as I understand it.
@@StevestonShips Thanks for the info👍
May have missed it but what's going to happen to her ?
Last we heard, BCF was going to try to find another buyer for her, either as a floating attraction, or scrap. We shall see.
@@StevestonShips wouldn’t mind a floating attraction
Most likely going to be with queen of vancouver and the others
@@StevestonShips Route 3 needs her!
@Tyrplayz There sadly cant be a floating attraction because there is a bunch of black mold onboard.
... such a lovely name ...very balanced & showing excellent progress through the waters .. so smooth & solid ... very reassuring to all passengers who board her ... reliable, & supportive ... a good solid 'gal' ..
... oh, wow, what a lovely lass for her age ... so clean & solid & running 'purrfectly' .. such a grand 'old' gem forever new ...
... this is just excellent drone footage ... the work yards look very neat & organized ... amazing setting, very ancient looking ... the Ferries look lovely ... clean & ready to service or to be serviced ... very nice .. thanks a mil' for this ..
Thank you so much! It’s always a pleasure to drone the ferries, glad you enjoyed it!
The music is right for this video I liked it
Lovely work! Great music choice too! An old Ferry but a beautiful one at that.
Thank you! The mood of the images definitely informed the composition of the music. Took a long time to get it right - glad you enjoyed it!
Nice video. Good job putting it together. Cool to see SAAM Towage using their tractor tugs in a towing role. Thanks for sharing
Thanks, appreciate it!
So many Sunshine Breakfasts, so long ago....
Do you know the whereabouts and the fate of the Carrier Princess?
No, I don’t. Funnily enough, I went on a bit of a virtual trek trying to locate her. Was one of my favourite ferries to see regularly when I was a kid growing up on the North Shore.
@@StevestonShips I've since found out it's docked in Nanaimo at Seaspan's new Duke Point terminal.
@@StevestonShips she now docked at port Mellon in Howe sound she been there for the last six month or so I saw her there on Facebook
Good old reliable Alberni !
And this where bc ferries come to die like the Bowen queen rip Bowen queen 1965 to March 31st 2022
She’s going up for sale, so hopefully she gets a good second life!
@@StevestonShips hopefully as a ferry
Don't think they plan on phasing out the spirit class ferries anytime soon. Maybe in 10-20 more years.
@@kyleenglot9184 Correct, it’s just the Bowen Queen we were referring to.
When the spirits do get retired I will for sure be taking one
Sweet video. I have drone footage of suction dredges but none of them actually working. Cool video
Thanks! The 309 is a frequent sight on the river, so lots of opportunities to see it at work!
Very cool video and an impressive ship. You have my like and subscribe. Love drone shipspotting
Subbed back at ya!
Two tones?
Yup. Somehow losing out on the full three-horn glory!
Waiting for The Doris to sail by ;)
Really wish she would!
Queen of Oak Bay is there
I didn’t even realize there was another Island class tucked in behind the Northern Adventure. Thanks for posting. 👍
