Ballantyne Pier


Ballantyne Pier is a commercial and passenger dock at the Port of Vancouver. It also called Ballantyne Cruise Terminal. The pier was built in 1923 to lighten the dock shortages in Vancouver that came about during WWI. At the time it was the biggest port in the British Empire.

In 1995 the pier was gutted to create two modern cruise ship berths. It is currently used as for overflow for cruise lines.
