Almost two years of investigation later and it would seem that we will be no closer to knowing exactly what happened on March 22nd, 2006 when the Queen of the North sank off of Gil Island.
The Transportation Safety Board is set to release its report into the maritime incident and according to the CBC, the report will not provide for a definitive answer as to what went wrong that night.
There will apparently be no solution to the puzzle of why the vessel went so terribly off course, resulting in the cost of two lives and near disaster for 99 more.

The Transportation Board will list the incident as “unable to explain” report the CBC, who have come into possession of some of the details of the final report to be released on Wednesday.
Of the moments leading up to the sinking, the CBC says that the Transportation Board will suggest that a course correction was missed, as the two crew members on watch were engaged in a personal conversation.
While no definitive cause can be reached regarding the sinking, the Transportation Board will apparently be pointing out a number of issues it has discovered regarding the procedures and situations that are in place while BC Ferries are under way.
The much anticipated report will reportedly find fault with BC Ferries on a number of important points, but for the one question that everyone on the north coast wants to know they’ll be coming up empty.
An unfullfilled mandate that will leave the sinking of the Queen of the North to remain one of the great maritime mysteries of Canadian history...
