The       "Princess
Kathleen" and
' 'Princess     Marguerite' ' are twin-screw
turbine   steamships,
burning   oil-fuel    to
generate   steam,   instead of coal.    Each
is   of   about    6,000
gross   tons,   with   a
length of 368 feet, a
breadth of 60 feet, a
depth  of 28   feet  9
inches  to the upper
deck,    and    a   load
draft of 17 feet.
These two steamships are capable
of  attaining   21   knots,   and   even
more if necessary.      The other steamships
on the "Triangle Route'' make about i8>^
knots per hour.
The "Princess Kathleen"
and "Princess Marguerite" have five decks, the upper three of
which are devoted entirely to passenger
accommodation, with the dining room occupying part of the fourth.
The public rooms consist of the observation room, the library, two social halls,
the smoking room, the writing room, the
sitting room, the dining room and luncheon
bar. On the boat deck, aft, is a cosy
verandah cafe, sheltered from breezes, that
forms an additional centre for relaxation.
The floor diagrams on our centre pages
show the position of each room.
These two ships have been especially
designed for the Triangle service, and all
the sitting rooms and lounges are spacious,
comfortably furnished, and charmingly
decorated.
SO POPULAR has the Canadian Pacific
Triangle Route become between the three
dominant cities of the Pacific North West
—Vancouver, Victoria and Seattle—that
two new steamships were especially constructed for it, and went into service only
two years ago. These new steamships were
the "Princess Kathleen" and "Princess Marguerite"—the largest and fastest in the
coastal service on the Pacific Coast, and distinguished throughout by the highest and
most comfortable class of passenger accommodation.
each containing lower and upper berths
and settee. There
are, on the promenade and shelter
decks, 12 rooms with
lower and upper
berths and cot beds;
and 11 rooms with
lower, upper and sofa
berths. Bathroom
and lavatory accommodation is handily
adjacent.
On the boat deck
there are 21 "bachelor" rooms, each containing lower and
upper berths and settee, and with a private
shower bath adjoining.
Accommodation
Special
Rooms
Staterooms
Each of these two ships has
accommodation for 325 first
class passengers, in two and three berth
cabins. As will be noticed from a study of
the floor diagrams, these rooms vary greatly
in character.
There  are,  distributed  over  the  boat,
promenade   and   shelter   decks,   86   rooms
Printed in Canada, 1927
One very notable feature of these
two ships is the provision of 17
special rooms—4 on the promenade deck and 13 on the shelter deck.
These special rooms are most luxuriously
furnished, with bright hangings and carpets,
private toilet and basin, with bathroom
between adjoining rooms.
Eight rooms are one-bed rooms. Four
are one-bed-plus-sofa-berth rooms. Five
are two-bed rooms, each with sofa berth
additional.
During day runs these special rooms are
exceedingly convenient for family parties.
p r These two^ steamships are fitted
o r t with the "Sperry Gyro Compass,"
y which adds to efficiency and eliminates "yawing." This remarkable compass can be viewed by travellers in the
Library.
Additional safety is also ensured by
double bottoms throughout and by eight
water-tight bulkheads extending to the
main deck, with additional subdivisions
afforded by carrying some of the bulkheads
to the upper deck.

These two twin screw 5500 ton steamships
were built especially for this night service
by the Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering
Company Limited, Govan, Glasgow, and
entered regular service in May, 1930. They
have been especially designed to accommodate
the large number of passengers who desire to
travel by night between these two cities, with
sleeping accommodation for 408 first class.
The majority of the rooms are designed to
accommodate two passengers while a number
of smaller rooms have been provided for exclusive use by one passenger.
There are also 28 de-luxe rooms with single
bed, shower bath and toilet, and 12 large
de-luxe rooms with twin or double beds, private shower, and toilet.
The Company has for many years maintained a night service daily in both directions
between Vancouver, B.C. and Victoria, B.C.,
a distance of 80 miles, and the increasing popularity of this service necessitated the construction of these large and splendidly equipped
ships, which embody all the latest ideas for the
safety, comfort and convenience of the Company's passengers.

 THE WEST COAST OF
VANCOUVER ISLAND
THE SERVICE
For over a quarter of a century, steamships flying
the well-known house flag of the Canadian Pacific have
regularly carried His Majesty's Mails, as well as passengers and freight, to the scattered settlements situated
in many out-of-the-way bays and inlets the year round.
Now comes the opportunity for the pleasure-seeker to
see, from the deck of a comfortable and luxuriously
appointed steamship, the many beauties of this natural
playground of the Pacific.
The steamships Princess Norah and Princess Maquinna, built especially for this service, sail regularly
from Victoria during June, July and August for West
Coast ports. Numerous ports are visited by these
steamships in their five-hundred-mile journey to Port
Alice in Quatsino Sound. Both vessels were built with
the idea of providing the maximum of comfort for the
passenger.
The "Princess Norah" was built at Clydebank, Scotland, in 1929, and provided with every possible convenience for the safety and comfort of passengers,
including attractively furnished Observation Room,
Smoking Room, Social Hall and spacious promenade
decks. Handsomely appointed staterooms, to accommodate two or three passengers, are fitted with hot and
cold running water, electric berth lights in each berth,
and individual steam radiators for use if desired.
De luxe rooms, with private tub or shower bath and
toilet facilities, are available for those desiring the
maximum of comfort.
Sufficient time is allowed at all principal ports, either
on the going or return trip, to see the points of interest,
which are many and varied, the schedule including, as
it does, canneries, Indian villages, fish reduction plants,
mines, a cable station and a pulp manufacturing plant.

 HISTORICAL INTEREST
The West Coast may well be called the Canadian
Norway, with its rugged and deeply indented coast line,
and mountainous, heavily-timbered slopes that drop
sheer into the water. Little villages are found along the
fiord-like bays and inlets, devoted to fishing and lumbering; Indian settlements, too, and interesting totem
poles with curious Indian folklore. It is a country
without railways, automobiles, moving pictures or electric
light; to all intents and purposes the same as a hundred
years ago, with the exception of a few modern fishing
plants situated at isolated and widely-separated ports
along the coast.
Historical interest in the West Coast centres on
Nootka Sound, which was first visited by Capt. James
Cook in 1778, who made Friendly Cove, at the entrance
to the Sound, his headquarters for further exploration.
Lieutenant John Meares visited Nootka in 1788 with
two ships, constructing a small trading post. He and his
men were later captured and imprisoned by Spaniards,
which action nearly precipitated war between England
and Spain; but after numerous diplomatic exchanges an
agreement was reached called the Nootka Convention,
by the terms of which Spain formally acknowledged
England's sovereignty in Northwest America.
Captain George Vancouver was sent out by the
British Government in 1792 to Nootka to take formal
possession of the territory, and the record of his meeting with the Spanish Commander, Bodega y Quadra,
will be found in the book of Captain Vancouver's
voyages. Two sentences from his journal with reference
to the West Coast are of particular interest: "To describe
the beauties of the region will, on some future occasion,
be a very grateful task to the pen of a skilful penegyrist.
The serenity of the climate, the innumerable pleasing
landscapes and the abundant fertility that unassisted
Nature puts forth, require only to be nourished by the
industry of man, with villages, mansions, cottages and
other buildings, to render it the most lovely country
that can be imagined/'

QUATSINO SOUND—The first call is at Quatsino Cannery,
near the entrance on the south side; then Koprino Harbour on
the opposite side of the Sound, and a few miles further on
Quatsino Village. Steamship then proceeds down the southeast
arm to Port Alice, the terminus of the voyage and the site of a
large pulp mill. A few miles before reaching Port Alice is
Jeune Landing, from which point an excellent road leads inland
about fifteen miles to the mine of the Coast Copper Company.
After a stay of several hours at Port Alice, the homeward voyage
commences; but before leaving the Sound a call is sometimes
made at Holberg, at the extreme end of the northwest arm,
which is entered through a beautiful narrow tidal channel.
KYUQUOT SOUND—The first port of call is Cacbelot, a former
whaling station, now converted into a fish reducing plant—one
of the largest on the coast. Calls are also occasionally made at
Chamiss Bay, and at the Indian village of Kyuquot. There being
no wharf at the latter port, landing is made by boat. Passing a
maze of rocky islands at the entrance of the Sound, the ship now
rounds Cape Cook, off which point may be seen Solander Island,
the home of a large colony of sea lions.
ESPERANZA INLET—This large Inlet was also discovered
and named by Capt. Cook in 1778. Several calls ai"» made in
the Inlet at the fish reducing plants at Ceepeecee, McBride Bay,
Espinosa and Queen's Cove, before passing again into the open
sea en route to Kyuquot Sound.
NOOTKA SOUND—This Sound, one of the largest and most
beautiful on the West Coast, was discovered by Capt. James
Cook in 1778, who landed at Friendly Cove, a charming half-
moon of sand and gravel beach, situated at the entrance to the
Sound on the north side, named by the Indians' "Yukquot" or
, "Yucuat," derived from "Yukwitt," to blow with wind; "Aht,"
people or village, meaning "a village exposed to the wind,"
probably the most interesting historical port on the West Coast
of North America. Capt. Cook first named the Sound King
George's Sound in 1778, this being later changed to Nootka.
He was hospitably received by Chief Maquinna of the Nootka
Indians. Friendly Cove was again visited in 1788 by Lieut. John
Meares, in the ship "Felice," who erected a small trading post
and built in the same year the first vessel to be built on the
West Coast of America. A small Roman Catholic Church now
stands on the spot where this vessel was built. It was at
Friendly Cove that Capt. George Vancouver met Bodega y
Quadra, the Spanish Commander, and formally took possession
of the lands for Great Britain in August, 1792. A few miles
further up the Sound is Nootka Cannery, where, after a short
stop, the steamship proceeds through a beautiful narrow passage
through the mountains, called Tahsis Canal, to Esperanza Inlet.
CLAYOQUOT SOUND—-Three hours' steaming from Ucluelet
brings the steamship into Clayoquot Sound, a name taken from
the Indian word, "another" or "different." Calls are first made
at Tofino; then at Clayoquot on Stubbs Island, two miles
across the Sound. Clayoquot is beautifully situated on a long
halfmoon white sand beach, running out to a long spit, and a
jpleasant walk of about a mile through the woods brings one
[to the open ocean on the other side of the island. Clayoquot is
jthe headquarters for quite a large fishing fleet, and is an ideal
spot for a vacation. On leaving Clayoquot, the steamship calls
Vtt the Roman Catholic Indian Mission School at Kakawis and
several fishing plants in Matilda Creek before proceeding to
Nootka.
UCLUELET—Ucluelet Harbour is a well-sheltered Inlet about
five miles long, situated at the west end of Barkley Sound,
protected from the Pacific swell by several outlying islands. It is
the base of a large fishing fleet and also has several fine lakes
and small rivers in the vicinity, which offer good sport to the
angler, and some delightful gardens, owned and operated by
Mr. George Fraser, a horticulturist, who has made a specialty
of ornamental shrubs. Ucluelet proper lies on the west side of
the harbour, while directly across on the east side is Port Weeks.
Ucluelet wharf on the west side is at the end of the now partially
completed Ucluelet-Long Beach-Tofino road, which, when completed, will be an extension of the Vancouver Island main
highway, giving access to the famous Long Beach, twelve miles
long and one-quarter wide, lying between Ucluelet and Tofino,
probably one of the finest ocean beaches in North America.
ALBERNI CANAL—From Bamfield the steamship proceeds
along the Alberni Canal, the largest "fiord" of the West Coast,
some thirty miles long, terminating at Port Alberni. The old
town of Alberni may be seen on ths right, just before reaching
Port Alberni. Port Alberni is the terminus of the Alberni branch
of the Esquimalt & Nanaimo Railway, running westward from
Parksville Junction. It is also the headquarters of the Barkley
Sound herring fleet, and an important fish-packing centre and
lumbering town, being situated close to one of the largest areas
of standing timber on Vancouver Island. The steamship calls at
numerous fishing centres on both sides of Barkley Sound, including Sarita Bay, McCallum Bay, Green Cove, etc., where large
quantities of herring are salted and packed for export, and
pilchard reduced to fish oil and meal.
BAMFIELD — Shortly after leaving Clo-oose the steamship
passes Cape Beale, marking the entrance to Barkley Sound, and
arrives at Bamfield, an Imperial Government cable station, being
the terminus of the "All-Red" cable to Australia and New
Zealand via Fanning Island. Bamfield was named after W. G.
Banfield, who came to the West Coast on the H.M.S. "Constance"
in 1846 and was later appointed Indian Agent. The longest
portion of the "All-Red" cable lies' between Bamfield and Fanning
Island—3,540 miles. The cable was first successfully laid in 1902,
but with the rapidly increasing business of later years it was
found necessary to lay an additional cable recently. Bamfield is
also the lifeboat service station for the West Coast.
PORT RENFREW AND CLO-OOSE—Port Renfrew is situated
at the head of San Juan Inlet and at the mouth of the San Juan
and Gordon Rivers, a small but beautifully situated town, the
principal industries being logging and salmon canning. There is
also excellent trout and salmon fishing in season, and good
opportunities for shooting bear, deer, goose, duck or brant. About
an hour after leaving Port Renfrew, Carmanah lighthouse is
passed, and in another hour steamship arrives at Clo-oose, a
small village situated at one end of a beautiful white sand beach.
Landing is only possible by small boats, through heavy surf.
VICTORIA, B. C—Starting from Victoria, the beautiful Capital
City of British Columbia, in the evening, steamship proceeds
through the Strait of Juan de Fuca, with snow-capped Olympic
Mountains of Northern Washington on the left, arriving at Port
Renfrew, the first port of call, in the early morning hours.
