The Omineca Princess was berthed on the north terminal of Francois Lake and will be moved to the Southside terminal for dismantling and recycling between May and June. The vessel was decommissioned in 2004 and served since 1976. It completed 224,840 round trips [22 round trips each day] during its 28 years of service. The 34-car and 200-passenger carrying ferry was later replaced by the 52-car Francois Forester in 2004. (Black Press staff photo/Lakes District News)
