It was an emotional event for many on April 20 as 214 people boarded the Queen of Prince Rupert for the final time to witness the decommissioning of the vessel.
After a long blow of the whistle and some speeches, Captain Lance Lomax and Gwyneth Murray, who christened the ship back in 1965, rang the bell eight times to signify the end of the watch for the Queen of Prince Rupert.
