  • Research Note SS Beaver on the Lower Fraser River Route, 1898
    Research Note The Cruise of the Steel Steamer: SS Beaver on the Lower Fraser River Route, 1898–1926 Trevor Williams* n British Columbia, newly named vessels earn the “Beaver” mat- ronymic under the weight of great expectations. This single word swells with the spirit of colonial-era trading and exploration, arising from the first such-named vessel, the original Beaver, a steamer built in I 1835 England in and owned by the Hudson’s Bay Company. This wooden side-wheeler plied the rivers and oceans of precolonial British Columbia before being marooned upon the rocks at Prospect Point, near Vancouver, in 1870. As she rotted and was slowly looted, this much- photographed steamboat was only beginning to be transformed, through the tributes and eulogies given by historians, into a cultural icon of the frontier explo- ration and conquest of British Columbia by newcomer settlers. Because of the heritage and culture embedded within the name “Beaver,” only one paddlewheel steamer could be given the same name of this evolving cultural icon, and such a boat had to be known as a special vessel, even before it was built.1 In 1898, at Albion Iron Works, in the inner harbour of Victoria, British Columbia, “a new shipyard has sprung into existence, in which the first stern-wheeled, steel vessel ever put together in this province is to be built!” This was an unprecedented year for shipbuilding in British Columbia, where several new sternwheel boats designed to conquer the Yukon rivers were being assembled in Victoria and New Westminster. Of course, most boat builders were also woodworkers, but this new steel steamer being built for Canada Pacific Navigation (CPN) mainly needed ironworkers * Thank you to Jude Angione, Merlin Bunt, George Duddy, and John MacFarlane for their assistance.

  • Checklist of the Rare Birds of the Vancouver Area: Casual and Accidental Records
    Checklist of the Rare Birds of the Vancouver Area: Casual and Accidental Records July 1, 2013 Revised Edition by Rick Toochin Comments? Contact E-Fauna BC The following list contains records of Casual and Accidental birds recorded in the Vancouver Checklist Area. The Checklist Area covers Greater Vancouver and its vicinity from the International Boundary (but including Point Roberts, Washington) north to 49’ 35’ N (including Furry Creek), west to the middle of the Strait of Georgia and Howe Sound (including Bowen Island), east to 122’ 33’ W (Bradner Road & 288th St.) in Abbotsford, Aldergrove and Maple Ridge, but including all of Golden Ears Provincial Park. The Vancouver Checklist has a total of 413 species, 169 breeding species, 140 species seen less than once per year with 10 introduced and 9 extirpated species. Confirmed records appear first and are documented either by photographs, specimens, tape recordings or by written field notes (FN). Accepted records seen by a single observer are treated as a sight record (sr). There are 30 species on the list that are under the category of Hypothetical because they are either currently under review or haven’t fully been documented as a definitive record in the region. Below each species name is a list of records showing confirmed records then any Hypothetical records for that species. The casual and accidental records listed include historical records, including specimens, cited observations, photographed records and accepted sightings found in the literature about BC Birds. This List is a general synopsis of occurrence and should be interpreted as such. Where there are more than 20 records of a particular species, I have tried to add a little extra information.

  • Criteria for River Crossing Locations
    CRITERIA FOR RIVER CROSSING LOCATIONS: A CASE STUDY APPROACH by GARY CAMERON HARKNESS B.A., University of Washington, 1962 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of COMMUNITY AND REGIONAL PLANNING We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA April, 1964 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that per• mission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by his representatives. It is understood that, copying or publi• cation of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission* Department of COMMUNITY AND REGIONAL PLANNING The University of British Columbia, Vancouver 8S Canada Date May 8, 1964 ABSTRACT A comprehensive examination of the process of determining locations for river crossings constitutes the basic subject of this thesis. This process is highly complex and involves a variety of inter• related governmental and technical problems. The various financial and administrative responsibilities of the three levels of Canadian government provide a complicated operational framework within which river crossings and other transportation facilities are located and constructed. Similarly, inter-related locational criteria, such as land use and transportation needs and engineering requirements, pose formidable problems for the design and location of transportation facilities. In order that these inter-related problems are coped with effectively, it is proposed: That in Canada, the Provincial Government should use a comprehensive planning approach, within a framework of inter• governmental participation, to determine the location of river crossings within the Provincial highway system.
