To access the harbor near Granville Island, ships pass under a lovely old lift bridge, the deck of which is Burrard Street.

From the sea-level view of Granville Island, Vancouver's skyline is impressive in scale and modernity.

We needn't have hiked across the pedestrian-unfriendly bridge. Little ferry boats will get us back to Vancouver proper.

The Burrard Inlet separates North and West Vancouver (shown) from the downtown area.

We hiked to China Town, via the Gastown neighborhood, and through some rugged patches of the city's east side.

We also explored the port, scoping out our cruise-departure spot the night before we set sail.

The Port of Vancouver's main building resembles a ship, with sail-like features somewhat visible in the photo's upper right.
