The city’s steel shipment attracted a crowd last night as the barge came into harbour after a long journey from China.
Those walking along the water stopped to take photos of the massive ship as the sun set on the water.

This morning, workers began the work of unloading the shipment after the boat came in last night around 8:30 p.m. The second shipment leaves China by the end of the month and is scheduled to arrive in Victoria by the end of September.
