001      Three photos of Triangle Island Wireless.  Photos are copied off and displayed elsewhere on this site.
002      Grand Trunk Pacific (GTP) Steamer "Prince George" hard aground on Genn Island, March 23, 1917.  Jack was an operator on Digby Island at this time.  Not certain if he took the photo.
     SS Prince George was built at Newcastle-on-Tyne and arrived in Victoria on July 12, 1910.  About that time the funnels went from red-white-black to all black.

006      Digby Island Wireless Station (Prince Rupert).  The photo was taken some years after the construction of the station as the masts are of metal lattice construction, whereas the original masts would have been wooden, cut from local trees.
007      This is a three photo scan.  Photos are elsewhere on the site.
008      Clearing the site for Pachena Point Wireless Station..  This is a card with two photos on it.
009      More Pachena Point clearing.  The station was latterly a radio direction finder station, providing bearings for vessels at sea.  The location of the two loops have been drawn in by someone to make them more obvious.  Maximum signal would be received if the vessel was in direct line with one of the loops, and minimum if the vessel was broad side.  By summing the signals from both loops, a direction could be accurately determined.
010      A general view of the Pachena Radio station site.
011      Two views of Estevan Point Lightstation taken from the beach.  Photos are pulled off elsewhere. 
012      1960's photo of W. Jack Bowerman, Order of the British Empire. 
013      Back side of two photos printed on postcard stock.  These have been placed individually as photos #   and #    .

016      Point Grey Wireless Station.
Lady at the wireless station controls--obviously a joke photo. 017      Appears to be one of the station women at the operating position.  There were no female operators at that time so I suppose it was a gag photo. 
     Note the window on the left of the photo--it allowed the operator to see the spark of the transmitter, and thus get an idea of just how well the unit was working.
