unusual facts about Ripple Rock



Seymour Narrows

Vancouver band The Evaporators wrote a song about the event and released it on their 2004 album Ripple Rock.

SS Cardena

As if in anticipation of the indignities of her later groundings and collisions, the Cardena’s well-earned moment of glory came in the summer of 1927, when she freed the CNR liner SS Prince Rupert from the clutches of Ripple Rock in Seymour Narrows, a treacherous, three-mile tidal surge lying in Discovery Passage between Vancouver Island and Quadra Island.
