The best place for that old ark is on the bottom of the St Lawrence as a man made reef for divers!!Ballerina's on the boat.....there would never be another sled cross in the shuttle in Quebec City!

smclelan Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 The old ferry is tired and certainly ready to be replaced. I suspect this one will have the power to help prevent it being jammed in the ice as often. The bigger ferry hopefully will also reduce the number of times you can't get a space because the boat is full. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT Rider Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Thanks for the video JG. The new one looks way bigger than the old. I am surprised the same docks can accommodate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
