126 | Families at an unknown station. Background shows no trees or shrubbery. Could be Bird Rock in the St. Lawrence. |
 |
127 | A corporal and his dog. During the First War some of the west coast wireless stations had a guard. |
 |
128 | Could be a First War station guard detachment at one of the stations. |
 |
129 | ...and again it could be a First War station guard detachment at one of the stations. |
 |
130 | Family groups. Bowerman on the right. Edmunds second from left. Most likely Digby Island 1914-1918 period. |
 |
131 | The dog appears to be "Paddy". If so, then the location is Digby Island. Guards were stationed at many of the Coast Radio Stations during World War One. |
 |
132 | A guard was supplied to the coastal wireless stations during the hostilities of World War 1. |
 |
133 | Prince Rupert Archives confirms this photo
is of "Center Street in Prince Rupert with the Grand Trunk
Pacific Inn (gabled building) on the left at the bottom." There is a three stacker tied up at the dock. The vessel could be the SS "Prince George". |
| ------ | 134 | Not used. |
 |
135 | Tramway to beach, most likely Digby Island. If photo 136 is of the same scene, then the boat house in the background of 136 can be seen by squinting at photo 122. |
 |
136 | Looks to be close up of boat in photo 135. Could be the same couple as in 148. |
 |
137 | Unknown station. Could be associated with the photo below. |
 |
138 | Location is unknown, but it looks like Jack Berry on the right. When Jack left Triangle Island it is known he spent time at the new stations at Alert Bay and Deadtree, but just when is unknown. |
 |
139 | This is a good example of applying ship building techniques to wooden radio masts. Note the 'steps' as each section of the mast is added in. |
 |
140 | Shipboard group. Unknown faces. |
 |
141 | Unknown wireless operating position, but 'two turret' tuner visible to the right on the table. Equipment is the same as in the other photos. Calendar on the wall is set to May, year is illegible but Tuesday May 1 happened in 1906, 1917, 1923 and 1928. By 1923 spark equipment was on its way out. In 1917 Jack Bowerman was operating at Digby Island and this just might be a photo of the station. |
 |
142 | Bird Rocks in the St. Lawrence. Bowerman was stationed there at the end of 1918 with the object of installing a radio (direction finding?) station. This station was to be on the lookout for German U-boats operating in the area. |
 |
143 | Lady and girl with a brace of
natives. Chap on the right has a rifle shouldered. Not too sure what
the girl is holding, but it looks pretty dead. Lady may be holding a box camera. If the girl is compared with the face in photo 029 there are similarities. For instance, her hair is long and curled in both photos. I'd say the girl is operator Hollis's daughter. The lady may be his wife. |
 |
144 | Horse and station somewhere. |
 |
145 | Unknown location, but Bowerman is second from the left. |
 |
146 | Natty trio. Bowerman is on the left. |
 |
147 | I thought it might have been Pauline Johnston, but I looked it up and she had been long gone by Jack's time. |
 |
148 | Might be associated with photos 135 & 136. 136 does have the snow, a child and an adult female. |
 |
149 | Card with three photos of the Pachena Point landing. |
 |
150 | Most likely Digby Island in the 1914-18 period. Looks like Harold Tee on the left. |
