Don Scott's History:

CPR had the new 10,000 ton "Princess of Acadia" (2nd) constructed at Saint John, N.B. Shipyards in 1971, the largest CP Princess ever to be built for the company which replaced the former "Princess of Nanaimo", renamed "Princess of Acadia" (1st). The new "Acadia" (2nd) would operate the same route New Brunswick-Nova Scotia with three round-trips a day. The new ship being a roll-on-roll-off vessel carrying automobile traffic, passengers, freight and highway trailers. New facilities were constructed at Digby, Nova Scotia and at West Saint John.
