027      Album plate.
028      Triangle Island showing the radio operations building and a stepped radio mast.  Indicator at rear is where photo #031 was likely taken.  It appears the windows are taped as a safety measure due to implosion by the elements.  Date is 1912-14.
029      Homemade post card face from Estevan Point station.  Jack was stationed there 1911-12.  Wireless operator Hollis on the right, next to his daughter.
030      Triangle Island light and radio station.  What you see, is what you get on this island.
031      Another Triangle Island view.
032 Triangle Island radio operator's dwelling.  Due to the high winds this building was eventually anchored to the ground by cables and buttresses.
033      At 2 AM March 7, 1916 the SS Camosun ran up on Lucy Island when headed for Masset, QCI.    No injuries amongst the 17 passengers.  100 Tons of coal and freight were lightered off.  She was refloated on the 17th. and went south under her own steam for repairs.

034      Jack was an operator at Digby Island Radio from 1914 until 1918 and had a small boat.  He most likely went over to Lucy Island and took these photos of the SS Camosun up on the rocks.
035      Jack with an unknown lady.  Location is also unknown.
036      Unknown couple, but obviously there is a connection to the photo above.
037      Another shot of treeless Triangle Island.  The tramway scar is 1600 feet long and is still visible today.
038      Three radio operators at Triangle Island.  From the left:  Harold Tee, Jack Bowerman and Jack Berry.  Berry had a wife, two boys and a girl with him at this very isolated station.  Harold went on to be the District Superintendent of Radio for Saskatchewan in 1945.  Read a newspaper clipping Jack kept of Harold's retirement.  From his retirement photo we must assume he lost his hair in the gales at Triangle :-)
039      Victoria District office staff in the 1950's.  Here is the photo with some of the people identified.
040      Unknown location and pair.
041       Duplicate of Digby Island.
042      Work crew lightering cargo ashore from the navigational aid tender "Estevan" in the background.  Location is at Hesquiat Indian village, not far from the Estevan Point light and radio station.  Cargo is a load of planks, substantial planks--no doubt for the plank road.
043      Estevan Point, looking westward, with the 'new' radio operations building in the foreground.
044      Pachena Point light house, co-located with the Wireless Station.  Pachena is some 150 miles to the south east of Estevan Point.
045      Duplicate of 028.  It appears the windows are taped as a safety measure due to implosion by the elements.
046      Triangle Island operator's dwelling.  Lighthouse tower in the rear distance.  Tramway steel rails to the beach appear in the lower left and disappears into the building with the steam engine boiler's smoke stack.  Tramway winch was steam powered.
047      Department of Transport brass at Patricia Bay (YYJ-Victoria BC) airport.  Person #1, #2, & #3 are unknown although is thought to be Walter Rush, Controller of Radio, Department of Transport.  #4 is Stevenson and #5 is Bowerman.  About 1940's.
048      Point Grey (Vancouver) Wireless station dwelling.  This station was located on the grounds of present day University of British Columbia.
049      Docking facilities for the station at Digby Island.  1914-1918
050      SS Camosun resting on some BC granite.  Prince Rupert area is well known for its high tidal range which no doubt helped in the vessel's eventual getting off and making its way to Vancouver for repairs.
