The MV Northern Ranger made its final voyage along the Labrador coast, marking the end of an era for this iconic ship. It had been a mainstay of the region's transportation network for many years.

The Northern Ranger was a reliable and hardy vessel, capable of withstanding the harsh conditions of the Labrador coast. It had a long and storied history, serving the community for decades.

With its final voyage complete, the Northern Ranger will be remembered as an integral part of the region's history and culture.

Coast Says Goodbye

Communities along Labrador's coast have been saying goodbye to the MV Northern Ranger as it makes its final passenger voyage.

A large crowd came down to the port in Nain on Monday, flanked by a brass band, to give the ship a traditional sendoff.

People are bidding farewell to the ship, which has served the isolated communities for over 30 years.

"It's like losing a part of our family", said a resident, reflecting the sentiment shared by many in the community.

The Northern Ranger will conclude its passenger service later this week in Black Tickle, but it will continue in cargo mode until the ice will no longer allow it.

A traditional sendoff was given to the ship in Nain, a testament to the strong bond between the community and the vessel.

The new vessel, with roll-on, roll-off capabilities, will replace both the Northern Ranger and the Astron next season.
