Lady Rose
Marine Heritage Cruises
Cruise
the waters of Canada’s sheltered west coast
aboard the heritage vessel, Francis Barkley.
The
M.V. Frances Barkley was built in 1958 and
launched on November 7 as the M/S Rennesoy in
Stavanger, Norway.
In March of 1990 the ship's registry was changed
from Norwegian to Canadian as was her name which
became Frances Barkley.
Canada’s West Coast is a fascinating region of
fjords and inlets where small tug boats and
supply vessels work the sheltered waters,
becoming a lifeline for local industries.
Appealing to marine enthusiasts and nature
lovers alike, few trips are as unique as the
Lady Rose. Here is a chance to travel aboard a
classic 1930’s vessel and while the ship makes
it’s regular supply run – you will discover a
rare and memorable side of life on Canada’s West
Coast.
Second vessel in the company, M.V. Frances Barkley was built in 1958 and
launched in Stavanger, Norway. Originally
commissioned for use in the Norwegian ferry
fleet, the 128 foot vessel arrived on Canada’s
west coast in 1990. Now operating in sheltered
coastal waters, carrying up to 200 passengers
and 100 tons of cargo, the Frances Barkley
spends her summers on the Port Alberni to
Ucluelet/Broken Group Islands run.
MV Frances Barkley is also
available for private coastal charters during
the spring, fall and winter.
