Description
Bowen Island Marina occupies the area that has historically welcomed visitors and residents to Bowen Island for over a century. It was here that Captain Cates first landed tours from Vancouver on his Ship the 'Swan' in 1897. When his new venture, Mannion Estates, grew in popularity he bought the larger vessel, 'Britannia' to the Island. When the original Union Steamships Company took over from Captain Cates in 1920, they steadily increased the number of ships coming to its summer resort.
