The Sun Sea Saga Four Years Later:
One Canadian Remembers
AUGUST 15, 2014
It is hard to imagine that it was four years ago today that the MV Sun Sea, escorted by an RCMP vessel, pulled into the Esquilmalt Lagoon while all the major Canadian media outlets watched and recorded the event from the Songhese First Nations Reserve in Esquilmalt, British Columbia. Everyone ashore was shocked at the initial sighting of the ship that carried 492 people from Thailand to Canada. How on earth could 492 people be on a ship the size of a football field, let alone, live, sleep, eat, and play for over 110 days as the small vessel crossed the Pacific?
