The $40-million Pelee Islander II is set to take its maiden voyage
"I'm very happy to announce today that the new Pelee Islander II will officially go into service tomorrow morning, Saturday April 6th at 8am," says Provincial Transportation Minister Jeff Yurek.
Yurek along with local politicians made the announcement Friday and gave a tour of the state of the art vessel.
"There was no more taxpayers dollars spent into this," says Yurek. "It was covered by warranty as they fixed up what might have gone wrong during the voyage up here but today it's ready to roll, ship safe and it's ready to take people starting tomorrow morning."
