  • Robert Sommers: the Role of the Canadian Pacific Railway in The
    The Atlas: UBC Undergraduate Journal of World History | 2004 The Role of the Canadian Pacific Railway in the Early History of Vancouver ROBERT SOMMERS British Columbia’s entry into Confederation in 1871 was contingent upon the construction of a national railway. For the rest of that decade, however, the debate raged as to where the terminus would be, with the province’s two leading urban centres, New Westminster and Victoria, vying for the prize. At that time, the town where Vancouver stands today was known as Granville or Gastown, and was full of impassable forests, was a remote location, and had land so cheap that it traded for a dollar an acre. Finally, in 1882, when Burrard Inlet was announced as the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) terminus, Port Moody went wild with land speculation. However, the provincial government had other plans. Desiring an extension of the railway all the way to Coal Harbour, the province made the CPR an offer it could not refuse: more than ten square miles (6458 acres) of land in return for an extension of the rail line and for CPR construction of works and docks by the railroad terminus. The Canadian Pacific, led by William Cornelius Van Horne, quickly agreed. It wanted to extend its line anyway because Port Moody lacked sufficient room for the railway to operate: it did not own an acre outside of the limited rail yard and the Second Narrows was not considered a safe passage for ships. The CPR thus became the richest landowner in town, the speculative land market in Port Moody immediately collapsed – only to rise in Granville – and Gastown boomed, becoming a city on April 6, 1886.

  • SS-Beaver-Medal-Awar
    Amazing Sea Stories – The Maritime Museum of BC April 13, 2012 - For Immediate Release Call for nominations: The Maritime Museum of British Columbia to award S.S. Beaver Medals for Maritime Excellence The Maritime Museum of BC invites all members of the media to attend a press announcement at the museum to unveil our new Award of Excellence on Monday, April 16th at 10am. This new award – then Maritime Museum of BC SS Beaver Medal for Maritime Excellence –will honour individuals who have made outstanding contributions or significant achievements in maritime endeavours in our Province. These attainments may include—but are not limited to—science, technology, business, applications of maritime skills, nautical heritage and culture, and academic contributions. The gold- plated Medal, which incorporates copper from the 19th century steamship S.S. Beaver, underlines not only our Province’s vivid maritime history, but also highlights the continuing importance of British Columbia’s maritime sector. BC has more than 40,000 islands and a coastline of nearly 26,000 kilometres. “We plan to award up to three medals each year,” said former Ambassador and retired Admiral John Anderson, a member of the medal steering committee. “Our first medal presentations are scheduled for fall 2012.” The medals were struck in 1954 from copper and other materials salvaged decades earlier from the wreck of S.S. Beaver, and the first steamship on the west coast. A paddle-wheeler, Beaver has an iconic significance in our Province’s maritime history. Built in Britain for the Hudson’s Bay Company in 1835, Beaver worked British Columbia’s coastal waters for 53 eventful years.
