EVENT DESCRIPTION
Come join SNAME Canadian Pacific Section in Victoria where Barge Master Shawn Taylor will provide a tour of one of the oldest steam-powered crane barges that has been in service for 67 years!
YD 250 is part of the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) Auxiliary Fleet on the west coast, and while many barges of its kind have been converted to diesel power or tossed in the salvage yard, this 1957 barge continues to move entirely on steam power. Below is an article about this unique vessel.
After the event, please join us for a social at the 4-Mile Pub.
