Ships and Boats from Vancouver Island and beyond

The above photo is from the outer passenger deck of the Spirt of Vancouver Island (No. 637), June 2020, British Columbia, Canada, Photograph© by Gary Nylander. 
 
On my frequent sailings aboard the B.C. Ferries from 2020 to 2024 I am often on the outer deck with my camera on the lookout for any photo possibilities, it's always exciting to see Orcas (Orcinus orca), or Killer whales which I have seen on a few rare occasions. Something else that I like watching out for is other ocean-going watercraft including big ships, sailboats, fish boats and pleasure boats. This is a collection of these different boats.
