That's gotta suck for the boat owners

WEST VANCOUVER, British Columbia - A British Columbia ferry lost power, smashed into a number of boats and ran aground at a marina while docking Thursday at Horseshoe Bay in West Vancouver.

There were no immediate reports of injuries, B.C. Ferries spokeswoman Deborah Marshall said.

Witnesses said the 457-foot Queen of Oak Bay missed the terminal berth and was blowing its horn as it crashed into Sewell's Marina.

Passenger Myrtle Medd said an announcement was made telling those aboard to get into their cars and brace themselves as the vessel was about to crash.

"We glided in and we didn't feel a great impact but we did take out about seven sailboats," Medd told BCTV. "But nobody was injured on the sailboats and no one was injured on the ferry. But we're sitting in front of the little tourist bureau, not in the real dock."

She said ferry workers told passengers it would be hours before they would be able to get off the vessel. Passengers were not allowed to go on the outer deck or to their cars.

"We're all just upstairs getting free coffee and tea," Medd said.

Gus Tsogaf, owner of the Bay Moorings Restaurant that overlooks the harbor, said the big ferry destroyed several boats before it stopped.

A BC Ferry ran aground at a marina while docking at Horseshoe Bay in West Vancouver, BC.
"At approximately 10 a.m. the Queen of Oak Bay lost power while coming around the corner into Horseshoe Bay," Marshall said. "The ship drifted into Sewell's Marina damaging several boats."

The accident occurred as many British Columbia residents were expected to flock to the ferries at the start of the long Canada Day weekend.

The Queen of Oak Bay returned to service on the run from West Vancouver to Nanaimo on Vancouver Island earlier this month after an extensive, $35 million upgrade. The ferry can carry 1,500 passengers and 362 cars.

cool1 · 06-30-2005, 01:05 PM

thats sucks for them.

A bridge would have to be quite big

Axeman · 06-30-2005, 01:09 PM

a bridge is long overdue.

IwantU Bryan · 06-30-2005, 01:10 PM

Oooh man that really sucks

RuthB · 06-30-2005, 01:18 PM

instead of a bridge they could always do a tunnel like in Europe

Shortbread · 06-30-2005, 01:21 PM

Those ferries have no luck

FilthyRob · 06-30-2005, 01:23 PM

Elli · 06-30-2005, 01:28 PM

Not really funny hah-hah.

They still don't know if there were people in any of the boats that got run over, because those boats are mangled under the ferry. They can't move it til high tide at 3pm.

Drake · 06-30-2005, 01:30 PM

Do those things have backup power engines?

BigRod · 06-30-2005, 01:30 PM

I'm not an evil person. I wouldn't laugh if there was someone injured/killed.

"But nobody was injured on the sailboats and no one was injured on the ferry.." according to the article.

Amazing how people don't fucking read the threads anymore. The power loss was mentionned in the first sentence. I mean.. come on.

Tala · 06-30-2005, 02:01 PM

Whatever the cost, at least no one was injured. And if the vessel lost power, it could be more the fault of the company rather than the captain.

Mighty Chin · 06-30-2005, 02:21 PM

Exxon Valdez anyone.
