Radio mast erection, most likely Bird Rock. 326 Erecting pipe masts somewhere, most likely Bird Rocks in the St. Lawrence.  Bowerman was posted there shortly after 1918 to install a radio communications system.  The Rock was to be either spotting or for radio direction finding on German U boats coming into the river. 
Radio mast erection, most likely Bird Rock. 327 Ditto but this time some poor sod has shinnied up to affix a cable or tighten a nut. 
Steel lattice radio masts. 328 Two lattice radio towers at an unknown location. 
Bowerman in coveralls, most likely Bird Rock. 329 Jack Bowerman in coveralls. 
Tower and operations building at Barrington Passage. 330 Radio operations and tower at Barrington Passage Wireless, Nova Scotia.  The two towers at this station were 325 foot high self supporting structures.  The station was closed in 1922 and over the years the place has cleared.  Foundations of the towers are still there.
Transmitter high tension room showing rotary spark gap. 331 Transmitter high voltage room.  It looks like the capacitor bank in the rear and a synchronous spark gap (the spiked wheel) on the right. 
Bowerman on the right with two other men. 332 Barrington Passage Wireless grouping.   Bowerman on the right.  The fencing behind the lads is for the station's tennis court.
Two lads on porch steps. 333 Two lads at an unknown location. 
Lady and dog on porch step. 334 Bowerman took a separate photo a the black spaniel.  The photo is labeled "Paddy".   A black spaniel is seen welcoming Bowerman to Digby Island.  Perhaps this photo is at Digby. 
Could be Hollis and wife. 335 A photo of Fred Hollis from Laval's web site. This is inset photo is identified as 'Fred Hollis' on Laval's web site.
Could be Hollis and wife. 336 This could be Radio Operator Fred Hollis & Wife.  He was with Jack at Digby Island and Point Grey.  Fred joined in the 1911-12 period.  For some reason Hollis is sitting on a folded Union Jack.
Unknown beach couple. 337 Couple on the beach.  Lots of logs so it must be an exposed location. 
Two self supporting radio masts, perhaps Barrington Passage, NS. 338 The two 325 foot towers at Barrington Passage Wireless Station, Nova Scotia.  Although the station shared the name with the local community, it was some 20 miles off to the south west, on an isolated rise.
Barrington Passage, Nova Scotia steet scene. 339 Barrington Passage, Nova Scotia.  Bowerman operated at the station here for a period prior to his return to the west coast in 1920.  See verifying photo here.  Thanks to Chris for confirming the location.
Steam shiip Newington entering Bamfield. 340 Department of Marine Lighthouse Tender Newington.  Location isn't noted on the back of the photo but it looks like the point at Bamfield. 
Old Digby Radio operations building. 341 Old Point Grey operations building. 
Pattern looking up a self supporting steel radio tower. 342 Shot looking up one of Barrington Passage's towers.
343 A group of the lads at Barrington Passage Wireless.  Jack on the left.     This photo grouped with others on photo 200.  Michael Christie in Nova Scotia wrote a book "The Barrington Passage Wireless Station", published in 2002.  Click here to see a grouping of operators, taken from his book, at this station during World War 1.  Christie advises the staff changed quite a bit after the War.  Station closed in 1922.
344 Barrington Passage Wireless Station front steps grouping around the 1918-20 period.  Same grouping as in photo 308 except for the man on the lower left swapping out with Bowerman to take another photo.
345 Transmitter high tension room.  Note feed through insulator in back wall.  This is a photo of the Barrington Passage Station's Poulson Arc transmitter.  The Poulson Arc permitted the broadcast of continuous radio waves instead of the pulsed groupings of waves generated by spark equipment.  Poulson Arc equipment had about a 10 year run before it was eclipsed by vacuum tube transmitters in the early 1920's.
Junkers Model F13 at Prince Rupert dock. 346 Junkers model F13 G-CADP in the livery of "Railway Employees Invest. & Ind. Assn. Ltd. Prince Rupert BC"

This aircraft was with Employee's Association from Jan 27/21 to May 17/22.

 
Junkers Model F13 take off roll. 347 Most likely these three photos were taken in Prince Rupert during the period mentioned above. 
Junkers Model F13 pulling away from the Prince Rupert dock. 348 The aircraft does have a history.  Search the Web for Junkers and "G-CADP" 
Portrait of a gentleman by the name of 'Edmonds'. 349 Edmunds was an operator at Point Grey during the 1920-23 period when Bowerman was the OIC.  He appears in Larry Reid's book on page 37, and in photo 130.
