Passenger Lists available from the GG Archives from the Port of Vancouver, British Columbia. Organized by Date of Departure, Steamship Line, Steamship or Ocean Liner, Class of Passengers, Route, and the Ship's Captain.
Vancouver, considered the greatest ocean port in Canada, resembles San Francisco, and the province as a whole has many beaches, harbor seals, large coastal trees, good Chinese restaurants, snow-capped mountains, and lush vegetation.
The Port of Vancouver flanks Burrard Inlet. Behind it are the mountains, which are lush with trees and stuffed with minerals. Before them are the rich and poor nations of the Pacific—Japan, China, Australia, Indonesia, Korea, the Philippines, Thailand, New Zealand, India, South and Central America, and the United States.
