Beautiful shot of this replica of one of the most significant ships from BC and Canada's westcoast colonial history.
A decade ago, the SS Beaver ran very popular three-hour dinner cruises in the inner harbour and along the south coast between Trial Island and right into Esquimault harbour.
It's great to see the interest in restoring it to prominence as part of Victoria's heritage.
Good grief what a gorgeous sight... and up for sale! How I would love to travel the world in that. :)
Gorgeous steamship and shot!
You caught the light just at the perfect moment... gorgeous shot!
That'd be a blast!
Beautiful photograph. Your light was perfect. I would buy the Beaver except I already have one just like it.
That really is an amazing image Ben, perfect lighting and reflections! Gorgeous old boat, wonder how long it will take before someone buys it!!
Ahoy!
That is one of the best pictures I have ever seen of the SS Beaver!!
Yes we are for sale
