The coastal sits at Swartz Bay should be it’s name.

Wow the costal bridge looks cool to ride on

That sounded like Diesel 10's horn.

Im Sure will miss the 7 sister's Victoria Burnaby class.B.C. Ferries good vessels of 1960s

In the second blast you could hear one of the tones fade away:(

Have you ever tried driving a ferry it’s amazing

Sound like diesel 10

Fun facts: captains always blow the ship’s whistle to warn us that the ferry or ships are leaving in few minutes or now leaving, or arriving. They also blow the ship’s whistle for horn battles with different boats ships or ferries even they blow the ship’s whistle in case there’s an Emergency

Oh man, that gorgeous, classic, properly tuned E major triad… the sound of my childhood. ❤️

angry birds apoz

Horn 0:40

Queen has all notes of "O CANADA" in her horn. just like canada place.

St. Louis Blues goal horn

S..s.

Hi nerds

Is BCFerries required to have those flashing red beacons? Here in the states, Washington State Ferries doesn't have those.

I love that ship

Kinda sounds like the horns at Canada Place

She and the other C -Class vessels will be retired in 2024. The Queen of Oak Bay & Surrey will be on Horseshoe Bay - Langdale.

Never understood why a brand new vessel would be kept as a # 2 boat? Such a waste!

These Airchimes will not be heard any more. The Nanaimo and Burnaby are now sitting tied up at Deas dock in richmond with the B.C Ferry logo painted over on the funnels. They appear to be awaiting either sale or scrapping.The end of an era started by W.A.C. Bennett and Phil Gaglardi!

That's my passenger deck. I have 6 stairways and 3 elevators.

How did you score this?

This horn sounds epic

is this your school work experience

HOLY CRAP

@VancouversLocalNerd yes that is correct, there is a button to switch between single and three-tone.

Cool! Just curious, is there a different button for sounding the single tone horn vs. the 3 tone chord or is that toggled some other way?

I. been on the ship but I didn't know it also went to Lang Dale

I go on her sister, the Queen of Cumberland, between Swartz Bay and the Gulf Islands. I went on her about a month ago and that was the first time I've gone on it in 6 years. As I walked into the passenger cabin I got a flash of the new interior, it was astonishing!

Nice one! We subscribe to your channel. Would you consider subscribing to ours? We post elevators & ferry boats mostly. Thanks!

Is this the horseshoe bay langdale route

@theFerryTraveller The Toronto Maple Leafs has won the Stanley Cup. At least that's what that one sounds like. Actually the Vancouver Canucks has a horn, that sounds exactly like it on the lowest of five goal horns, situated inside Rogers arena. You should look up this video called how the rods work. You're actually noticed that it sounds exactly the same.

Bowen's a neat old boat. I think they've replaced those fiberglass chairs in the deck 3 lounges these days. I used to take it a lot when it was running between Salt Spring and Schwartz Bay, and hated getting to the terminal to find that its uncomfortable and often cold replacement the Quinitsa was running that day. Ugly scow...

The signature whistle of BC Ferries. I wish all of the vessels in the fleet had that style of whistle.

It is an odd boat. I grew up taking its predecessor, the Vesuvius Queen, on a weekly to monthly basis. Nothing against the HSQ, but the Vesuvius was an old school ship! Mechanical linkages from the bridge to the engine room for throttle control, and facing each other, a pair of wooden steering wheels almost 3 feet in diameter.

So? ¬_¬

Agreed. The Nanaimo is a classy lady. Unlike the boorish aural assault of the Skeena...

Shame someone is giving you thumbs down you have great ship tours. I was aboard this ship a couple of weeks ago on a mid-week day trip and didn't see as much as I've seen in your video. I spend the whole sailing in the lounge drinking coffee. I really should explore more I guess. I am going over to the island again this Saturday morning and Coastal Celebration is still on the Tsawwassen to Swartz Bay sailing while the Spirit ships are in annual refit. Thanks again!

Nice overview! Beware low season Duke Pt to Tsawwassen, they do not operate SeaWest lounge. Although Sitka lounge is available, it isn't as nice or nearly as quiet. BTW they had this ship on Tsawwassen-Swartz Bay last week. Wonder where the S-class ships are?

I though the Queen of Oak Bay is only on the Hshoe B to Dep B route

i was just on this

no the its klitsa

Wait, the nimpkish replaced this one?

@busrailfan It was not a full sailing, but it felt busy in some places on the ship. Bottom line is, the QoNW doesn't handle crowds well.

Looked like that sailing was not a very busy trip from what I could see.

So sad this vessel was replaced

@jlongmuir13 No, I don't think it would be good. west van-nanaimo is best suited for double enders(esp. in hsb), and the New West carries a good 100 cars less than the C class, when there's only 2 boats on the route.

Thanks for Sharing. I was hoping to see the passenger elevator. I'm designing a new controller for it.
