The story of over 100 years of marine service in Horseshoe Bay told in words and pictures. At the centre of this story we learn about the people who had the courage and imagination to launch and expand marine services at the western end of West Vancouver.  Arrivals and Departures examines their influence and impact on Horseshoe Bay, from the early days of water taxis and put-puts shuttling people and goods around Howe Sound to the super ferries of today transporting enormous numbers of people and their vehicles.
