At the turn of the 20th century, Charles Hays dreamed that Prince Rupert would become a port to rival Vancouver. Hays died in the sinking of the SS Titanic, but his company Grand Trunk Pacific Railway carried out his dream and now Prince Rupert is one of Canada's major seaports. Forestry, fishing and tourism are the major industries for this city of 16,000.
See the totems of the Haida and Tsimpsean Indians in various city parks such as Service Park or Roosevelt Park with great views of the Pacific. Take the gondola up to Mount Hays Recreation Area. See the Sunken Gardens and the Museum of Northern British Columbia.
