  • "Grand Trunk Georgian Bay and Lake Erie Railway Company"
    "Grand Trunk Georgian Bay and Lake Erie Railway Company" Under Ontario Chapter 69, March 4, 1881, Grand Trunk, Georgian Bay and Lake Erie Railway Company was formed by amalgamation of The Port Dover and Lake Huron Railway Company, The Stratford and Huron Railway Company, and Georgian Bay and Wellington Railway Company. In 1881 the line then comprising 92 miles was leased to The Grand Trunk Railway Company of Canada. Under Deed of sale dated July 11, 1888, and as authorized by Dominion Chapter 57, May 4, 1888, Grand Trunk, Georgian Bay and Lake Erie Railway Company acquired the Capital Stock, property, franchises, rights and privileges of The South Norfolk Railway Company. Under the Charter granted to this Company, The Grand Trunk Railway Company of Canada built the line from Parkhead to Owen Sound (12.40 miles) which was opened for traffic in September 1894. For this purpose Bonds to the extent of $100,000 were issued bearing interest at 5% per annum, the principal falling due March 1, 1934. These Bonds were subsequently retired, and the Mortgage Deed dated May 8, 1894 was discharged in April 1911. AMALGAMATION: Effective April 1, 1893, under Agreement dated October 1, 1892, ratified and confirmed by Dominion Chapter 47, April 1, 1893, Grand Trunk, Georgian Bay and Lake Erie Railway Company and fourteen other companies were amalgamated into one company under the name "The Grand Trunk Railway Company of Canada". Georgian Bay & Lake Erie Railway Company Owen Sound Branch The construction of the Owen Sound Branch was authorized by Act 56, Victoria Chapter 49, Dominion of Canada on April 1, 1893 and the line from Parkhead to Owen Sound 12.36 miles was completed and opened for traffic about December 31, 1894.

  • Context Statement
    CONTEXT STATEMENT THE CENTRAL WATERFRONT PREPARED FOR: THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION PROGRAM DEPARTMENT OF NEIGHBORHOODS, CITY OF SEATTLE November 2006 THOMAS STREET HISTORY SERVICES 705 EAST THOMAS STREET, #204 SEATTLE, WA 98102 2 Central Waterfront and Environs - Historic Survey & Inventory - Context Statement - November 2006 –Update 1/2/07 THE CENTRAL WATERFRONT CONTEXT STATEMENT for THE 2006 SURVEY AND INVENTORY Central Waterfront Neighborhood Boundaries and Definitions For this study, the Central Waterfront neighborhood covers the waterfront from Battery Street to Columbia Street, and in the east-west direction, from the waterfront to the west side of First Avenue. In addition, it covers a northern area from Battery Street to Broad Street, and in the east- west direction, from Elliott Bay to the west side of Elliott Avenue. In contrast, in many studies, the Central Waterfront refers only to the actual waterfront, usually from around Clay Street to roughly Pier 48 and only extends to the east side of Alaskan Way. This study therefore includes the western edge of Belltown and the corresponding western edge of Downtown. Since it is already an historic district, the Pike Place Market Historic District was not specifically surveyed. Although Alaskan Way and the present shoreline were only built up beginning in the 1890s, the waterfront’s earliest inhabitants, the Native Americans, have long been familiar with this area, the original shoreline and its vicinity. Native Peoples There had been Duwamish encampments along or near Elliott Bay, long before the arrival of the Pioneers in the early 1850s. In fact, the name “Duwamish” is derived from that people’s original name for themselves, “duwAHBSH,” which means “inside people,” and referred to the protected location of their settlements inside the waters of Elliott Bay.1 The cultural traditions of the Duwamish and other coastal Salish tribes were based on reverence for the natural elements and on the change of seasons.

  • Washington Transportation Chronology
    Transportation Chronology by Kit Oldham, updated 2004/p.1 Updated by Kit, 2004 WASHINGTON TRANSPORTATION CHRONOLOGY 1835. The Hudson's Bay Company ship Beaver is the first steamship to travel on Puget Sound. HL #1946 October-November, 1845 . The Michael Simmons-George Bush party cuts a makeshift road from Cowlitz Landing (now Toledo) on the Cowlitz River to Budd Inlet on Puget Sound, where they establish Tumwater, the first American settlement north of the Columbia River. Dorpat, 63; HL # 5646; Meeker, 158. 1851 . A crude wooden track portage line along the north bank of the Columbia river at the Cascades in the Columbia Gorge is the first railway constructed in the future Washington. Schwantes, Railroad , 15. 1852 . The first road established by law in the future Washington state is Byrd's Mill Road between Puyallup, Tacoma, and Steilacoom, established by the Oregon Territorial Legislature. Garrett, 3. 1853 . First overland passenger service from Olympia to the Columbia River begins; passengers are initially carried on freight wagons known as mudwagons (given the poor conditions on the route which do not improve much even when a military road is completed in 1861), with stage coaches coming into use as passengers numbers increase. (Except for the Columbia-Puget Sound connection, stagecoaches are little used in Western Washington, as the waters of Puget Sound provide the crucial transportation links). Dorpat, 66-67; Schwantes, Journey , 88-89. 1853. The steamer Fairy is the first steamer to provide regular service among Puget Sound ports. HL #869 January 7, 1853. Congress appropriates $20,000 for a military road from Fort Steilacoom to Fort Walla Walla by way of Naches Pass, a route that Indians used for generations to travel between Puget Sound and the Yakima Valley.

  • Vancouver's Waterfront and Longshore Labour in 1918: Background Context to James Shaver Woodsworth's on the Waterfront Chris
    Vancouver’s Waterfront and Longshore Labour in 1918: Background Context to James Shaver Woodsworth’s On the Waterfront Chris Madsen James Shaver Woodsworth a travaillé sur le front marin de Vancouver entre sa démission du poste de ministre de l'Église méthodiste et son retour à Winnipeg et pour devenir un politicien travailliste et démocrate. La description qu’il a publiée de cette expérience est présentée et reproduite ici afin de mettre en contexte la nature de l'emploi des débardeurs, le syndicat auquel les hommes appartenaient et les luttes qu'ils ont collectivement menées. Cela va révéler ce que Woodsworth a choisi de discuter et de ne pas discuter. James Shaver Woodsworth was a prominent social democratic politician from Western Canada. Elected six consecutive times to the House of Commons as a member of parliament representing the residents of Winnipeg North Centre and as leader of the Labour Party and the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) Party, he championed the interests of ordinary working people toward creating a better society in Canada. A popular heritage minute video produced by Historica Canada used in grade school curriculum focuses on his unwavering stance on getting legislation for old age pensions from a Liberal minority government.1 This accomplishment was but one of many during his long career. He died on 21 March 1942 in Vancouver at the age of sixty-seven while still holding political office. Woodsworth genuinely believed in improving the economic and social lot of those who toiled for a living, as expressed in his public oratory, politics, and published writings.

  • CANADIAN SHIPPING in the BRITISH COLUMBIA COASTING- TRADE By
    CANADIAN SHIPPING IN THE BRITISH COLUMBIA COASTAL TRADE "by GEORGE MACDGNALD SCHUTHE A Thesis Submitted in Partial1 Fulfilment, of tne Requirements for the Degree of THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA APRIL, 1950 Th© University of British Columbia, April, 1950. CANADIAN SHIPPING IN THE BRITISH COLUMBIA COASTING- TRADE by George^ Macdonald Schuthe (ABSTRACT) Withiir: the last one hundred" and thirty years, the coasting tirade of British Columbia has passed through four more or less distinct stager of development: the era of the early trading monopolist, the Hudson Bay Company; the rise of the small-scale shipowner; the growth of corporate shipping enterprise; and, in the first half of the twentieth century, the predominating influence of the national railway companies, particularly the Canadian Pacific. Fast passenger steamers are usually associated with British Columbia coast shipping, and yet, the more prosaic tug boats, tankers, and fish packers, if less spectacular, are just as important to the economy of the province. Coasting steamers as cargo carriers are, in fact, in process of being eclipsed by scows and barges, which, in the sheltered waters of the coast, are more cheaply operated than self-propelled freighting vessels. The routes of heaviest traffic on the coast are - 2 - those serving the areas of densest population on the lower mainland and central and southern Vancouver Island. Indus• trial communities, dependent on water transportation, are, nevertheless, scattered along the entire coast line. As employment is often seasonal, and labour, transient, flexible shipping services are essential. Year-round operations on some routes are possible only because government subsidies are provided.
