The B.C. Ferries vessel is part of a new series of Canada Post stamps honouring the country’s marine heritage.
The Spirit of British Columbia, one of the largest vessels in the B.C. Ferries fleet, is part of a new series of Canada Post stamps honouring the country’s marine heritage.
Built in 1993, the vessel was converted in 2018 to dual-fuel propulsion, allowing the ship to use liquefied natural gas and significantly reduce CO2 emissions. In releasing the new series, Canada Post said waterway transportation has been a fundamental part of Canada’s history and development, with Indigenous Peoples traditionally using canoes, kayaks, umiaks and other vessels to hunt, transfer goods and carry people along coastal regions and across lakes and rivers.
