Not too sure where this. The building
doesn't look like the typical Dominion Government edifice at the
wireless stations. In the distant gloom is the outline of a
rolling hill. |

Chap is standing on the well deck of some
vessel, perhaps the 'Estevan'. Winch is steam driven

Fairbanks Morse was the engine of choice for the stations.
This is a two cylinder engine, might be at Barrington Passage, Nova Scotia as that station was a large facility.
I don't know of any two cylinder power plants in use on the west coast.
YouTube has several good videos of F-M engines or go
to my engine page
here. |

Typical looking radio equipment of the era. No idea what
it is, but it does have large contacts on the rotary switch.
Could be used for transmitter antenna tuning. |

Jon Healey advises, "This
station is Pachena Point. I have a copy of the photo as well. We lived
in the house on the left when my dad was OIC.
The photo was taken from the top of the water tower"
See also 402 & 403 to make up a panorama view. |

Taken on the porch of the operator's
residence on Triangle Island, probably in 1912. On the left is
Harold Tee, Jack Bowerman in the centre and Jack Berry on the right.
The phrase "all dressed up and nowhere to go" comes to mind. |

Dominion Government's buoy/lighthouse tender 'Estevan'. Built in
Collingwood, Ontario in 1912. Scrapped in 1971. A well
known and hard working vessel along the coast. |

Buoy/Lighthouse tender 'Estevan'. Looks like the engine
room boys are having a problem! |

the station. |
