Pilot Vessel Dalena PACIFIC NAVIGATOR - Steveston Harbour
Pilot Vessel Dalena PACIFIC NAVIGATOR - Steveston Harbour

Richmond, BC Canada

A pilot boat pulls alongside a cruise ship.
A pilot boat is a type of boat used to transport maritime pilots between land and the inbound or outbound ships that they are piloting.


Steveston village is a historic salmon canning centre at the mouth of the South Arm of the Fraser River, on the southwest tip of Lulu Island in Richmond, British Columbia.

Since 1945, it has hosted an annual Steveston Salmon Festival on July 1, Canada Day. The extreme southwestern tip of this southwestern suburb contains Garry Point Park, the site of the Steveston Fisherman's Memorial.

Steveston still maintains the character of a quaint, historic fishing village, with over 600 fishing boats––Canada's largest fleet calling Steveston Harbour home.

Over the years, due to its still active fishing fleet, historic buildings, and National Historic Site, The Gulf of Georgia Cannery, Steveston is still very much a small fishing village, though changing quickly. It boasts over 350 businesses and services to accommodate its growing population.

Steveston has become a popular place to visit and live. On sunny days, visitors flock to Steveston's waterfront boardwalks to enjoy the scenery, people and food.
In 2002, Steveston hosted a Tall Ships festival, and approximately 400,000 people came to see hundreds of restored sailing ships dock along the coastline.
