Vancouver Just the mention of the mention of the name, Vancouver, evokes memories of a gorgeous city and warm friendly people. Vancouver is easily the favorite liberty port of the Duncan crew and, considering the. w elcome they receive, its no wonder. This year, Duncan ' s visit coincided with the Vancouver Sea Festival which celebrates the city ' s rich sea heritage. As a result, Dun- can sailors were the guests of the city and were treated in a fashion unequaled in any other port Duncan has ever been. There were fire- works, parades, races, contests, dial-a-sailor and much, much more. Sailors in uniform were constantly surrounded by interested Canadi- ans and charming ladies. After a visit to a city like Vancouver, the ship needs to go back out to sea for a rest! The best is usually saved for last which is why Vancouver appears here in the Crew ' s book.
