Lady Cynthia : ウィキペディア英語版 | Lady Cynthia
''Lady Cynthia'' was a steel-hulled passenger ship converted from a minesweeper, (formerly HMS ''Barnstaple''), which served in the coastal waters of British Columbia from 1925 to 1957. ''Lady Cynthia'' was a sistership to Lady Cecilia, also a converted minesweeper. The ship was generally referred to as the ''Cynthia'' while in service. ==Nomenclature== The Union Steamship Company of British Columbia, owners of ''Lady Cynthia'', had a number of vessels which operated in all areas of the coast of British Columbia. The company however ran a number of routes close to Vancouver where overnight accommodations on board ship would be unnecessary, with the objective being to carry large numbers of day passengers. To distinguish vessels intended for this service from the company's other ships, these day vessels were given names that began with "Lady".〔Henry, ''The Good Company'', at page 103.〕
