"Spirit Class"   (S CLASS) FERRIES 

Spirit of British Columbia

  Spirit of Vancouver Island

The Rt. Hon. Mike Harcourt Mayor of Vancouver, BC, was on board the first of the S Class Ferries, for it's commissioning, early 1990's   My family and I were also at the ceremonies with one of the 1:150 scale models, commissioned by BC Ferries.   The picture above top, of the Spirit of British Columbia shows the vessel after it's refit in 2005.   Six of the original models were built, three were of the "Spirit of British Columbia", and three were of the "Spirit of Vancouver Island".
