  • HISTORY OF THE HOLIDAY PARK RESORT BOAT

    The Holiday Park sailboat was a 70 ton sailing ship along Highway 97 at Commonwealth Road.  In 1903 the historic Orchard City II ran charters and worked for sawmills on Okanagan Lake. The boat sank during a storm in 1948 and remained at the bottom of the lake for 30 years when it was salvaged and restored.  It then served as the famous landmark for Holiday Park Resort until September, 2020 when tragically, our historic landmark was lost to fire. 

    This amazing wall hanging was gifted to the Sigal family and Holiday Park Resort by Mary-Lou Wightman, a local Lake Country resident.  The Wightmans and their family loved the boat - it was an important landmark they used all the time when giving directions to the many friends and visitors that came to see them over the years.  It is most definitely “Gone but not Forgotten”. 

    The wall hanging is displayed at our very own Blue Schooner Café in the Activity Centre.  Drop in, have a look and enjoy lunch at the Blue Schooner while you're here!
