MV Aricia was a ferry that operated on Okanagan Lake in British Columbia, Canada.
[2] Aricia was the fifth ferry on the lake and had a passenger cabin, engine room, pilothouse, and life boat, and a stable was built on the west side of the lake for the public to use while waiting, including a feed locker for horses.
[8] A headwind started up when Hayman was leaving Kelowna with six cars and nineteen passengers.
The gas line broke and passengers panicked before the life boat was lowered.
The passengers and cars landed safely on the wharf only one hour and thirty minutes later than scheduled.
