The Sidney Class consists of the original two ferries built for the British Columbia Ferry Corporation in 1960.[1][2] The design for the ships was based on the MV Coho ferry with changes made to accommodate loading of vehicles through the bow of the vessel. After more than 40 years of service, the Queen of Sidney (Hull 85) was retired on November 28, 2000 after numerous complaints of intense rusting and health hazards the ship was sent to a shipyard in mission BC, where it has sat ever since. The Queen of Tsawwassen (Hull 309) continued in service until the fall of 2008. A decommissioning ceremony was held on September 27, 2008 at the Deas Pacific Marine shipyard. These two ships spent almost all of their service life identical to when they were constructed, except for an expansion of the restaurant areas, due to unexpected food demand shortly after they commenced service.[2]
The Queen of Tsawwassen was built at Burrard Dry Dock in Vancouver, while the Queen of Sidney was built at Victoria Machinery Depot in Victoria. {{Start box}}{{Succession box| before = | title = BC Ferries Flagship | years = 1960–1962 | after = Victoria Class ferries }}{{End box}} In popular cultureThe resting place of the Queen of Sidney in mission, has been used in the television show The Secret Circle as the location for a battle between the circle of witches and the witch hunters in the episode "Family."
