Farewell to a Queen

Shortly after midnight on March 22, 2006, passengers aboard the Canadian ferry Queen of the Northwere flung from their beds as the vessel crashed into a rocky island. Evacuated into life rafts, many were rescued by heroic Gitga'at First Nations people in fishing boats. Two passengers were never found. The Queen's navigation officer was convicted of criminal negligence. But for the author, questions still remain. In this book he dares to ask, "What really happened aboard the Queen that fateful night?

"Farewell to a Queen is exciting and tragic stuff. Don, who captures it perfectly, has navigated over 100,000 miles in both Pacific and Atlantic waters." — Warren Miller, author and world-renowned ski filmmaker.
