Photo Album-GUS-01. "The Modern-day Port of Vancouver". This is a mixed bag of various images of ships and scenes in and around the Port of Vancouver, Canada. Most images show vessels arriving or departing the Port Metro Vancouver's Inner Harbour, in an area known as English Bay, which acts as an anchorage for ships awaiting berths in either the Inner Harbour or at Roberts Bank. The green area seen to the left in many images is the world-famous Stanley Park. All photos by Capt. Gary McLeod, unless otherwise noted. E-mail: bevymac@telus.net
