An uneventful and smooth ride to Prince Rupert (I really like it when I can say that). Prince Rupert is named after Prince Rupert of the Rhine. A 17th-century royal (English-German), military commander, scientist and the first Governor of the Hudson’s Bay Company (Fur Trading, etc. with early quasi-governmental powers which transitioned into a department store in the 20th century). The city earned its name in 1906 through a nationwide naming contest held by the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. The city must be doing quite well as it is the deepest natural harbor on the continent. Before you cruise by the massive shipping terminal area, you see a huge Liquid Natural Gas operation being built. The facility will have a production of up to 21 million tons of LNG per year. Word is that they have sealed a deal with Germany. The project is slated to be completed by 2028/2029.
