Princess Marguerite Ferry Victoria BC CPR Ship Chrome Postcard. This vibrant vintage postcard captures the majestic CPR ferry, Princess Marguerite, gracefully navigating the picturesque harbour of Victoria, British Columbia. The iconic vessel, a key part of the B.C. Coast Steamship Service, is depicted with its distinctive yellow and red-banded smokestacks, set against a stunning backdrop of Victoria's historic waterfront, including what appears to be the grand Empress Hotel and other notable city architecture. The image beautifully conveys the essence of coastal travel and the maritime heritage of Vancouver Island. Produced as a "Natural Color" chrome postcard, this piece showcases the vivid hues and detailed artistry of mid-20th-century postcard production. Published and distributed by Stan V. Wright Ltd. of Victoria, B.C., and featuring a color photo by Mike Roberts, it represents a classic era of travel and steamship history.
