Photo Comment

Upon retirement, this former Canadian Airlines International, Pacific Western Airlines Boeing 737 was completely stripped, then put on a barge and moved to the Stuart Channel near Chemainus and amid a joyous celebration including hundreds of boats and a ferry, was sunk and is now an artificial reef enjoyed by divers from all over the world.
