SUMMERTIME FISHING LUCK FOR CHILDREN!

Henry Heron works down at Fisherman’s Wharf.

Working with the local office cat, and Salty Seagull, he’s an important member of the dock team. He helps by keeping boats free of stray fish – in dinghies – and rats too, really! With deadly aim. But some days he simply enjoys the views and greets visitors…..

Vancouver Harbor harbors some of the most interesting commercial, charter vessels, visiting yachts, BC built character ships, and tiny but just as fascinating boats with figureheads and cute ‘Pretty Blue Eyes’  

For all lovers of the sea and Vancouver’s waterfront scene…. 

Dockside or on the water…

Architecture afloat! 

Beautiful 1930s Robert Allan designed ‘Meander’ cruises BC water and moors across from Granville Island where sleek cruisers leave English Bay.

Party boats host tourists and V to V takes travelers from Vancouver to Victoria in luxury!

Locals love this scene and the local economy flourishes, but little ships work too…
