Photo5: This is the Nicola. She is a sistership of the Nimpkish, therefore she looks exactly the same.

Built: 1979 by BC Ferries after the highway to Port Hardy was completed.

This is the terminus of two different ferry routes, served by 4 different ferries.
The route to Prince Rupert is served by the Northern Expedition in the Summer, and both the Northern Expedition and the Northern Adventure in the Winter, Spring, and Fall. The Discovery Coast Passage route stops at 7 small native villages along the way, and is served by the Queen of Chillwack, Nimpkish regularily, and the Northern Expedition and Northern Adventure at times when one of the other two are not available to sail.
