Trident Warrior, now owned by Trident Navigation, was constructed at the Sylte shipyard in Maple Ridge. Launched in 2019 for Gemini Marine Services under the name Gemini Warrior, it was intended for fish farm operations. Designed by A.G. McIlwain Ltd., this tug is highly versatile and maneuverable, measuring 60’ by 26’ and powered by two Caterpillar C32 engines, each producing 750hp. It features 72” nozzled propellers, four rudders, and a robust 125hp bow thruster. On its back deck, a Bracewell winch is equipped with 2,400’ of tow line, providing ample reach for large barges. Currently, the Trident Warrior operates in Vancouver Harbour, towing bunker and salt barges and serving as a line boat during ship docking. Beyond the harbour, it frequently travels to the North Arm of the Fraser River, Seattle, and Vancouver Island with scrap metal barges.

These fine art prints are the perfect alternative to an original. Printed right here on Vancouver Island, these prints have the look and feel of something I have painted myself.

Canvas Print

The natural texture of the canvas produces prints that are often hard to tell from the art original, and because they are not behind glass, offer stunning, rich-colour views from any angle. Award-winning breathing Color LYVE canvas, OBA free, truly archival, & carefully coated with satin coating, which are certified 100+ year archival by the Fine Art Trade Guild. Ready to hang with black side treatment. The stretcher bars are locally sourced from sustainable, Vancouver Island Douglas Fir and Hemlock, kiln-dried and milled. Canvas prints are a wonderful wall art option because they can look beautifully tailored without an external frame.

Fine Art Paper

"Made from 100% cotton rag and using a hot press production technique, this Hot-Press Fine Art Paper features a smooth matte finish. The heavy weight of 330 gsm, thickness of 16 mil, and opacity of 98% further give this paper the look and feel of a true fine art paper. Also, by forgoing the use of optical brightening agents, this media will offer a warmer, more natural coloration that is less prone to degradation over time. Designed for longevity, Hot Press Natural is free of acid, lignin, and chlorine and is pH buffered."
