The Princess Marguerite was a small luxury liner built in 1948 in Scotland by the Fairfield Shipbuilding & Engineering Company Limited for Canadian Pacific Steamships. She and her sister ship, Princess Patricia, were designed to run the triangle route between Vancouver, Victoria and Seattle during the summer months. She arrived to Victoria April 6th 1949 and entered service April 28. In the early-mid 1970s she went through a conversion at Yarrows Ltd. She was taken out of service in the 1970s, returned to service in the 80s until her retirement in 1989. Although effort was put into keeping Princess Marguerite in Victoria waters she left in 1992.
