Alaska - 28 Vancouver, BC, Canada

And so our cruise ended in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. I am very familiar with this harbor and city, as I managed the 65 foot yacht "MV CHAOS" here for several months. Returning to Vancouver brought back a flood of great memories. The Port of Vancouver is the fourth-largest port by tonnage in the Americas, the busiest and largest in Canada, and the most diversified port in North America. While forestry remains its largest industry, Vancouver is well known as an urban centre surrounded by nature, making tourism its second-largest industry. Major film production studios in Vancouver and nearby Burnaby have turned Greater Vancouver and nearby areas into one of the largest film production centers in North America, earning it the nickname "Hollywood North".
