226 | Looks like engineer Stephenson in the centre. Others and the location are presently unknown |
 |
227 | Taken in the Hesquiat area. From left are Tomas Lucas, Noah Paul and George Ignace. They appear to be working on a dugout canoe. Note the adze sitting on the log. Thanks to Des for the names. |

228 | Early Cape Lazo (Comox) site view. |

230 | This photo labeled as "Triangle Island in 1915" in Larry Reid's 'The Story of the West Coast Radio Service' page 31 but I have my doubts. It is taken from photo 229, which has one photo labeled as 'Cape Lazo', a second labeled 'Digby Island', a third is obviously Kye Bay (Cape Lazo) and the fourth is this photo. I think if it was not associated with Cape Lazo, Bowerman would have labeled it otherwise |
 |
231 | Kye Bay, north side of Cape Lazo. |
 |
232 | Bowerman at Digby in his boat. 1914-1918 era. There is a large dwelling of some sort just visible in the top left. |
 |
233 | CPR freighter SS Tees. Captain Edward Gillam front and centre. Laval has sent in two other photos taken the same day. Date is 1911. See a BC Archives photo of the SS Tees here. |
 |
234 | Rogers Pass snow slide. I don't know if this photo was taken by Bowerman or was a souvenir copy. I've seen similar. Photo 235 is the reverse. |
 |
235 | The amount of snow obviously impressed Bowerman.
"Snow slide, Illecillewact BC 1500 ft long 57 ft
high This is solid snow and no foolin'." Location spelling is incorrect, but close enough. Just of Rogers Pass today. Canadian Pacific Railroad gave up on this hassle every year and drove a tunnel under the pass. |
 |
236 | Album plate showing Point Grey Cricket Team. Perhaps a few of the wireless operators were team members. |
 |
237 | Bowerman and two of his buddies at Estevan Point. |

240 | Billy Ross on front lawn of Empress Hotel, Victoria. Mr. Ross's connection with Bowerman is unknown. |
 |
241 | Lou and his flock of goats. Unknown location. |
 |
242 | Carmanah Point Lightstation fog-alarm room. Electrical generators and air compressors for the light station. |
 |
243 | Estevan Point engine room. Fairbanks-Morse with a flywheel containing enough metal to make two present day automobiles. How the guys muscled that engine's bits and pieces ashore and along to the station speaks volumes of their ingenuity. |
 |
244 | Triple Island Lightstation. The photo demonstrates a 'standard generator installation'. In the background is the compressed air tank for the fog horn. Tank is still visible in 001 CM taken at least 60 years later. |
 |
245 | Gonzales Hill (Victoria) radio operations room. |
 |
246 | October 24, 1912 showing the construction of the Alert Bay Radio operations building. |
 |
247 | Early shot of Bull Harbour station located on Hope Island, north east end of Vancouver Island. |
 |
248 | Construction crew at Bull Harbour in the summer of 1920. L.W. Stephenson (ex Marconi engineer) on left with shot gun. Taylor, Stephenson's assistant, is also in there somewhere. Building is in the middle of photo 247. See Taylor 10-15 years older here. |
 |
249 | Back of 248. LWS was the installation engineer. "Construction crew. Bull Harbour? LWS in picture." |
 |
250 | Relative sizes between 1 kW & 2 kW spark transmitter motor generators. |
