I think I seen some of them, even a video. Keep up the great work :) I posted a few pics of the Marine Atlantic ferries (the Princess of Acadia and some fishing boats at the shipyard as well) on here, however, I have more pics on myshippassion.com. I really enjoyed my vacation in North Sydney this summer and I look forward to doing it again next year when I see and experience the Blue Puttees and Highlanders.

that is news..over here seems that Sydport is still a go..

Now that think about it ..I dont think that Sydport has the shore power Capability that maybe required ..not to mention half the wharf has collapsed..

Thanks Jarrod, I'll try and stay in PaB for a few days this time (depending on my vacation time).  Coast Guard Hill seems to be the best vantage point to take pics of the ferries entering and leaving for North Sydney.

What's wrong with the Blue Puttees that it had to be delayed??  Back in May Here and Now said the first ship was supposed to be delivered around Christmas time, so, I wouldn't be worried about delays just yet 8)

As she just undergone a major modification ,This ships entire attitude has been changed.
she has to under go sea trials ,cert's and so forth ..Lloyds (or the applicable underwriter) may want to be present and satisfied that everything is in order before lending coverage to Marine Atlantic
Early December  is everything on schedule ,everything right the first time out.
Theres alot to go over,that must be gone over before the crew sets out over thew Atlantic to St. Johns.


..The Canadian crew  in part is there,

Acceptance maybe soom time this month

Early January is what I'm hearing before she gets here ,Service commences' in February ...pending further delays
