Before BC ferries, a privately owned ferry company called Black Ball ferries operated in and out of Horseshoe Bay. They had control of the routes to Gibsons and Nanaimo, starting from 1951. In fact, they built the first terminal at Horseshoe Bay. Before this, there really wasn't a lot of travel between the mainland and vancouver island, it was mainly just for industrial purposes.
