Here we have a color original Ektachrome slide showing the MV Northland Prince at what appears to be Prince Edward, BC, Canada. I may be wrong. The slide is dated stamped AUG 78, the year the ship went to the UK, which may make this one of the last times or the last time in Prince Edward, although the slide may have been developed much later than the photo was taken.
