THE TRIANGLE SERVICE VANCOUVER HOTEL CANADIAN PACIFIC B.C .COAST S.S.SERVICE TRIANGLE SERVICE Speed 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.

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.

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/' ■:MISI**»]JI*li*«l (Read from the bottom up) 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.
