Many thanks to Anna for finding the Queen of Burnaby… and a semi-deconstructed Mayne or Bowen Queen at the right! #Ships #Boats #Ferries #BCFerries

We have learnt that the former BC ferry Queen of Burnaby has been moved up the Fraser River to a scrap yard, to join former Powell River class ships awaiting the cutters’ torches. There may be a field trip in the offing. #ships #boats #ferries #BCFerries

Christening a baby is nothing like christening a ship. I know that now. Once again I can only apologise.

On the move again, #BCFerries’ Island 9 is moving through Victoria’s inner harbour to Point Hope Maritime shipyard, where she’ll receive final outfitting, be christened with her official name, and be welcomed into the fleet. #ships #boats #ferries

Welcome to Canada! 🇨🇦 Docked at Victoria’s Ogden Point Terminal, Island 9 will clear customs before moving to Point Hope Maritime shipyard, where she’ll receive her final bits of kit to meet Canadian standards. 😊

Island 9 is passing the mouth of the Columbia River, and the border of Oregon and Washington State. Just one more chunk of the USA and she’ll arrive in her home waters! #Ships #Boats #Ferries #BCFerries

Island 9 is now off the Oregon coast, sailing closer to land, which will hopefully keep her within range of shore-based AIS receivers. #Ships #Boats #Ferries #BCFerries

Every ferry built in BC, so don’t believe the govt news that we can’t build ferries here.

Eureka! We have found her! Island 9, that is. Just off Eureka, California. Also off AIS. #ships #boats #ferries #BCFerries

#BCFerries’ Island 9 is passing San Francisco and seems excited to be on the final leg of her journey, having increased her speed to just over 10 knots. #ships #boats #ferries

Steveston Ships @stevestonships.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Well that was a quick splash-and-dash. Island 9 has departed Los Angeles on the final leg of her transoceanic journey, and is bound for her new destination: Victoria, BC! #ships #boats #ferries #BCFerries

All tied up! Island 9 is dockside in L.A. Final leg of her journey to B.C. begins soon! #ships #boats #ferries #BCFerries

Island 9 is passing Ensenada, Mexico, and seems on target to arrive at the Port of Los Angeles by her planned time of 0500 on September 2nd, unless she’s eaten by the enormous, 168,666 gross ton Quantum of the Seas. #ships #boats #ferries

#BCFerries’ Island 9 popped back up on the AIS feed, just off Puerto Vallarta. That was over four hours ago, and her most recent location is shown by the satellite position of the generic “passenger ship” roughly 33 nautical miles ahead. #ships #boats #ferries

Good morning! #BCFerries’ Island 9 has passed out of AIS coverage, but she’s the only passenger ship currently cruising up the coast of Central America, so we’re pretty sure this is her. 😁 #ships #boats #ferries

What happened while #Bluesky was down, today? Well, Island 9 left Panama, and is finally on her way to Los Angeles. #ships #boats #ferries #BCFerries

Steveston Ships @stevestonships.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

So it would seem that Island 9 is likely staying at her Colombian dock until sea & weather conditions are more conducive to a vessel of her size venturing out into the Pacific. Big tip of the hat to @oakbaygazette.bsky.social for the info! #ships #boats #ferries #BCFerries

Uh, ok… Looks like a wee pit stop for Island 9. Maybe someone saw a 7-eleven and had a craving. We’ve all been there. #ships #boats #ferries #BCFerries

One last lock to go in Island 9’s long journey. Sadly, there’s no camera view available, but our coverage continues regardless! #ships #boats #ferries #BCFerries

It’s dark in Panama, and the camera is both dirty and bad in low light, but you can still see Island 9 in the lower right hand corner. As before, her lock-mate is the MS Freesia. #ships #boats #ferries #BCFerries
