The Christmas Ship

Many juniors have become seniors during the 32 years that have seen the Christmas Ship sail through the islands waters from its home base at Bellingham, Washington. Many parents taking their children to the Christmas Ship this year were among the children greeting that ship in the not very distant past. Christmas brings many things to many people. It brings gifts and it brings a spiritual rebirth. It brings joy and friendship and nostalgia. And it brings the Christmas Ship. On Saturday the Discovery will sail over the international boundary to make its first Canadian call at Ganges. The ship will remain at Ganges until Sunday morning. Bill Webster During Sunday it will call in at the various Gulf Islands, bringing Santa, seasonal music, gifts and excitement. The ship is a tribute to the Bellingham Jaycees, who have made it happen for 32 years. It is a tribute to an international accord that welcomes such a gesture between neighbours. But most of all, it is a tribute to the people who join the ship for two days to bring joy and excitement to the very young. Long may she sail!
