Mariners, vessels provide security, housing at Vancouver Olympics

Professional mariners and their commercial and law-enforcement vessels played a major role in the success of the 2010 Olympic Winter Games. Host city Vancouver, British Columbia, came under heavy security for the February games, with a large component of that security concentrating on the harbors. Vancouver is a peninsula city, with the deep-sea port in Burrard Inlet on one side and smaller inlet False Creek reaching into the city center on the other.
