Aiken worked quietly and competently in the Columbia district mainly at coastal forts and on the steamer Beaver as a blacksmith until March 1, 1849 at which point he went to California, most certainly to participate in the Gold Rush. He appears to have returned to settle in the Willamette Valley and had an association with the HBC until 1852. Aiken's family life or subsequent activities have not been traced.

December 25, 1830 at Fort Vancouver, associated with: Fort Vancouver (l829-30) ship carpenter/ship builder James Anderson, from the port of Stromness, Orkney, joined the fur trade likely to give himself capital to start a new life but instead became one of its casualties. Likely born in Stromness, James appears to have drifted into the ship-building trade like many others at that port. His father having died, James appeared to be the sole supporter of his family and in 1821 he was found working with Andrew and Marjory Skea and living with his widowed mother, Catherine Anderson. Six years later, on July 7, 1827, and having met Isabella Scott, he began a new life as a married man in Stromness. Possibly in an attempt to acquire capital to begin a successful married life, the following year, on April 21, 1828, he signed on with the Hudson's Bay Company as a carpenter/ship builder on a three-year contract. Soon the Stromness shipbuilder sailed (What route did he take?????) arriving at Fort Vancouver in the Fall of 1829. There, James was engaged in repairing rather than building ships and was in the process of "giving a thorough repair to the Cadboro ", when on December 25, 1830 at the age of 32, he died of "the fever" at at that large Columbia River fort. He was likely buried in the graveyard behind the fort. (When did Isabella write the letter?????)

    Major Primary Timber Processing Facilities In British Columbia 2004 Ministry of Forests and Range Economics and Trade Branch Trade Major Primary Timber Processing Facilities in British Columbia 2004 Economics and Trade Branch Ministry of Forests and Range Victoria, B.C. July 2005 Foreword This is the 2004 edition of the Ministry of Forests and Range publication of Major Primary Timber Processing Facilities in British Columbia and refers to timber processing mills that have primary log processing capability and which operated during 2004. Coverage does not include re-manufacturing plants. Pulp and paper mills and panel plants are included in this report even though some do not have primary log processing capabilities. Where a mill produces more than one product (e.g. lumber and plywood; lumber and paper), each operation is listed in the respective sections of the report. The information was gathered through a survey of individual processing mills. If a mill did not submit a response, mill specific information reported in trade publications, directories and corporate annual reports may have been used. In some cases Ministry of Forests and Range staff provided estimates based on their knowledge of the operation and information reported in previous years. This year’s report includes a section analyzing the aggregate data gathered through this survey. The Forest Regions and Forest Districts identified for each mill reflect the new Ministry of Forests and Range organizational structure, effective April 1, 2003, consisting of headquarters in Victoria, three regions and 29 districts. This report is available free of charge on the Ministry of Forests and Range Internet site at: http://www.for.gov.bc.ca/het/ The report is updated annually.

  • Britain's Magnificent “Forts”
    Britain’s Magnificent “Forts” The Freedom Freighters of WW 2 By Geoff Walker For our non-seafaring friends, many would associate the word “Fort” with some kind of medieval bastion or land based strong hold, but in the case to hand, nothing could be further from reality. Fort was the name given to a class of Cargo Ship built in Canada during WW2, for the British government (MOWT), under the Lend Lease scheme. All Fort ships, except two which were paid for outright, were transferred on bareboat charter, on Lend - lease terms, from the Canadian Government or the U.S. War Shipping Administration who bought ninety of the 'Forts' built in Canada. The construction of this type of ship commenced in 1942, and by war’s end well over 230 of these vessels had been delivered to the MOWT, (including all “Fort” variants and those built as Tankers) each at an average cost of $1,856,500. Often, confusion persists between “Fort” and “Park” class ships that were built in Canada. To clarify, “Fort” ships were ships transferred to the British Government and the “Park” ships were those employed by the Canadian Government, both types had similar design specifications. All Fort ships were given names prefixed by the word “Fort”, whilst “Park” ships all had names ending or suffixed with “Park” at the time of their launching, although names were frequently changed later during their working life. These ships were built across eighteen different Canadian shipyards. Their triple expansion steam engines were built by seven different manufacturers. There were 3 sub-classes of the type, namely, “North Sands” type which were mainly of riveted construction, and the “Canadian” and “Victory” types, which were of welded construction.

  • The Fur Trade Era, 1770S–1849
    Great Bear Rainforest The Fur Trade Era, 1770s–1849 The Fur Trade Era, 1770s–1849 The lives of First Nations people were irrevocably changed from the time the first European visitors came to their shores. The arrival of Captain Cook heralded the era of the fur trade and the first wave of newcomers into the future British Columbia who came from two directions in search of lucrative pelts. First came the sailors by ship across the Pacific Ocean in pursuit of sea otter, then soon after came the fort builders who crossed the continent from the east by canoe. These traders initiated an intense period of interaction between First Nations and European newcomers, lasting from the 1780s to the formation of the colony of Vancouver Island in 1849, when the business of trade was the main concern of both parties. During this era, the newcomers depended on First Nations communities not only for furs, but also for services such as guiding, carrying mail, and most importantly, supplying much of the food they required for daily survival. First Nations communities incorporated the newcomers into the fabric of their lives, utilizing the new trade goods in ways which enhanced their societies, such as using iron to replace stone axes and guns to augment the bow and arrow. These enhancements, however, came at a terrible cost, for while the fur traders brought iron and guns, they also brought unknown diseases which resulted in massive depopulation of First Nations communities. European Expansion The northwest region of North America was one of the last areas of the globe to feel the advance of European colonialism.

  • Shetlanders Speak – Orcadians Sing by Klaske Van Leyden
    4 Shetlanders speak – Orcadians sing by Klaske van Leyden finally abandoned in favour of Lowland Scots in the course of the 18th century. Even though Norn is now an extinct language, it still lives on in the many Norn words and idioms which are one of the most well- known features of the local dialects. Most islanders are conscious of these Norn remnants in dialect vocabulary, which have also been documented in the dictionaries of Jakob Jakobsen, Hugh Marwick and, more recently, John Graham. Orcadians and Shetlanders are also well aware of the pronunciation features which make these accents not only unique in the English speaking world, but also quite different from each other. Yet, up till now, there has been very meagre mention of the crucial dissimilarities between the two dialects in the scholarly literature. Over the past five years, I have been investigating the differences between Orkney and Shetland pronunciation, for my PhD thesis at the University of Leiden in the Netherlands. In this article, I shall discuss some of my most important findings so far. Vowel and consonant duration When the famous phonetician Professor J.C. Klaske van Leyden was born in Gouda in the Netherlands in Catford visited the Northern Isles, in the 1950s, in 1959, and now lives in Vlaardingen.

  • Fishing for Meaning: Lived Space and Early Neolithic of Orkney Introduction
    Fishing for Meaning: Lived Space and early Neolithic of Orkney Introduction “Being at the junction of the North Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean … the sea is a constant, unforgettable presence in the islands.” David Fraser (1983, 224) The ‘unforgettable presence’ of the sea is notable by its absence in many accounts of the Neolithic of coastal and island areas within the British Isles. The story as most frequently told is one of terrestrial action; of monumental construction, polished stone technology, pottery and domesticates. When the sea does emerge it is often of a homogenous nature, a resource to be exploited with little significance. This treatment is diametrically opposed to the time spent in deriving meaning from action within the terrestrial landscapes of the Neolithic, within which all manner of subtle nuances and potential references are considered. Yet to people living in coastal areas and small island groups, perceptions of the sea are often anything but homogenous. As such, a myriad of skills, relationships and experiences associated with maritime practice have been marginalised in our reconstructions. This poses a problem when we come to contextualise any action within the Neolithic, maritime or terrestrial, such as monument construction because we have little idea of how these different practices articulate. This paper considers how an integration of maritime and terrestrial data within a ‘lived-space’ perspective can change our understandings. An approach that challenges stereotypes and explores relationships through the temporal and spatial nature of action is advocated. Attention will first be given to identifying archaeological stereotypes, before outlining what a lived-space perspective entails, and following its application to early Neolithic material from the Knap of Howar on Papa Westray in Orkney.

    The Ethno-Genesis of the Mixed-Ancestry Population in New Caledonia Duane Thomson n British Columbia and elsewhere in Canada the question of which mixed-ancestry persons qualify for Métis status is a largely unresolved public policy issue. Whether this issue is eventually Idecided by legal decisions or by political accommodation, the historical background relating to British Columbia’s mixed-ancestry population is an important element in the discussion and requires detailed exploration. Historical research conducted for the Department of Justice forms the basis of this study of the ethno-genesis of the mixed-ancestry population of central British Columbia.1 To understand the parameters of this research, some background regarding the 2003 R. v. Powley decision in the Supreme Court of Canada is necessary. The Court ruled that Steve and Roddy Powley, two mixed-ancestry men from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, qualified for Métis status. They thus enjoyed a constitutionally protected right to hunt for food under s. 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982.2 In its decision, the Court also set out the criteria that succeeding mixed-ancestry applicants must meet to similarly qualify for Métis status. One important criterion was that Métis Aboriginal rights rest in the existence of a historic, self- 1 For a summary of some of these legal and political issues, see Jean Barman and Mike Evans, “Reflections on Being, and Becoming, Métis in British Columbia,” BC Studies 161 (Spring 2009): 59-91. New Caledonia is the region chosen by Barman and Evans in their attempt to show that a Métis community developed in British Columbia.
