I took this picture on Sept 30th-2005 on the Queen of the North, an open sea ferry which sank March 22nd-2006 with 101 people on board. Everyone was rescued except for two people who are missing. The picture was taken from the bridge looking through the window which accounts for the scratch marks.
The ship has a colorful history including time as a floating casino way back in the day. If your interested on seeing more ship specs you can click: Queen of the North or here for the news release: Experts rule out mechanical failure in B.C. ferry sinking.

Update: April 14-2007 The official report blames the sinking on human error. The vessel remains under water and the two missing people were never found. Human error blamed for Queen of the North sinking
