Powell River Queen

The Powell River Queen was built in 1965, in Victoria, right beside the now retired Queen of Prince Rupert. As her name suggests, she first operated on the Saltery Bay (Powell River)-Earls Cove (Sunshine Coast) route. The Powell River Queen is a sister ship to the Bowen Queen and Mayne Queen. In 1973, the Powell River Queen got her "deck 3" side passenger decks removed to allow more space for overheight vehicles. Then the upper passenger deck got extended to make up for the lost passenger space. In 1979, with all her sister ships, she was re-engined and strechted, extending her car capacity from 40 to 70. In 2008, because of low use, the snack bar was removed on the 10 minute Quadra Island-Campbell River crossing.
