Protection Island Chapter 16 PROTECTION ISLAND The single most dangerous action you can take on this tour is failing to pay attention while travelling on the route. Do NOT read the following chapter while actively moving by vehicle, car, foot, bike, or boat. PROTECTION ISLAND Walking Tour Simon Priest is a past academic and Nanaimo resident with a passion for history and interpretation. Thanks to Rick Scott, Protection Island resident, island museum curator, and professional musician. The island has no commercial services and no public facilities (toilets are found only at the Dinghy Dock). Please respect private property and the privacy of all residents. Leave nothing but foot prints; take nothing but photographs. The museum may not be open, except for very limited days and hours. Please visit as part of an organized group, as the passenger ferry has certain space and time restrictions. Protection Island is a small island, located just offshore from downtown Nanaimo. It can easily be reached by passenger ferry called the “Protection Connection” leaving from N-dock in the Boat Basin opposite the Port Place Mall on Front Street. The passenger ferry lands on the island at the Dinghy Dock: Canada’s first and only floating pub (with public toilets). The island contains an eclectic collection of houses scattered through the forested island. Protection has only dirt roads, with very few vehicles, and most people get around on foot or by push bicycle or electric golf cart. When faced with transporting groceries or other packages from the island docks, the wheelbarrow is a common sight. Protection Island viewed from high in Nanaimo Originally called Douglas Island in the 1850s, after then British Colony Governor James Douglas, it was renamed Protection in 1860 for its position: protective of Nanaimo Harbour from storms with westerly winds. The steamship Oscar sought storm shelter between the island and Nanaimo as its coal supplies caught fire. As the fire worsened, the captain and crew grounded the steamer at the south tip of the island and abandoned ship. The Oscar exploded when its cargo of two thousand kegs of dynamite ignited. The concussive impact of the shock wave flattened most trees on the island and also shattered windows in many city buildings. This was the world’s largest explosion by 1913 and yet no one died. At the coal mine, operating at the south tip of the island from 1890 to 1938, another tragedy struck in 1918. During the seventh lowering of the elevator cage into the mine shaft that morning, a three year old cable snapped due to saltwater corrosion (caused by storage open to seawater waves during its long shipboard transport from England). As a result, 16 workers fell 200 metres to their death. Protection Island, showing the coal mine, as viewed from the southeast, circa 1910 Long serving Nanaimo mayor, Frank Ney, developed Protection Island as a housing estate in the 1960s and boasted 350+ properties. Ney was famous for dressing as a pirate during the Nanaimo Bathtub Races. Therefore, his new housing development was promoted with a buccaneer theme and earned the nickname “Arrr Island.” Road names included Pirates Lane, Cutlass Lookout, Captain Morgan’s Boulevard, Captain Kidd’s Terrace, and Treasure Trail. Parks and beach access are plentiful. Please respect private property and take your trash with you as the island has no public garbage collection. Protection Island Welcome Sign located at “The Traffic Circle” by the ferry START: Take the Protection Connection passenger ferry from downtown Nanaimo (found at N-dock at the Boat Basin) and disembark on the island at the Dinghy Dock (#1) beside the pub. Pirate themed local business 1. Dinghy Dock Pub: Open seasonally (closed in winter with reduced hours in spring and autumn), the Dinghy Dock is Canada only registered floating pub. It offers great views of Nanaimo Harbour and makes a nice place to stop off at the end of the tour, while waiting for the ferry ride back to the city. Originally a marina that offered food service to boaters, it grew into a restaurant and pub with expanded patios and a family friendly area with a children’s fishing hole. Please patronize this local business. Walk up the ramp from the dock onto the island and continue straight ahead past the traffic circle on Pirates Lane. Stay left on Pirates Lane at the fork near the fire station. Turn right on Treasure Trail to reach Studio 33 (#2). Studio 33 in 2019 2. Studio 33: This art centre serves as studio, gallery, and exhibition space for island artists and musicians. NO PUBLIC DISPLAYS. Continue along Treasure Trail until it ends at the T-junction with Pirates Lane (this is a different section of Pirates Lane). Turn left and after crossing Captain Morgan’s Boulevard, turn right between the groups of community post boxes onto the forest trail. Follow this trail until it reaches Ben Gunn Park Beach (#3). The view from Ben Gunn Beach 3. Ben Gunn Beach: The beach at Ben Gun Park is one of the more secluded gravel beaches on the island and nice place for a nature break. Pause here to enjoy the view of Gabriola Island to the east. Continue uphill on the forested side trail away from the beach to the T-junction with Cutlass Lookout. Turn left and go to the end of the road, where you can take a forested trail into Smuggler’s Park (#4). Sign at the community gardens beside the tennis courts 4. Smuggler’s Park: The beach area of this park has interesting sandstone formations and an excellent view across to Gabriola Island. The area between the pond and the beach makes a good place for a picnic. Make your way through Smuggler’s Park to emerge from the forest with the community gardens slightly to your right. Turn left, onto Captain Morgan’s Boulevard, and follow the road past the site of the Oscar Explosion (#5) to the T-junction with Colvilleton Trail. This area was the Chinese settlement for the mine. Local newspaper story regarding the Oscar Explosion of 1913 5. The Oscar: The world’s largest explosion at the time occurred just south of here. In the winter of 1913, the powder tug Oscar had loaded its cargo of 40 tons of dynamite in Victoria, steamed up through the islands to Nanaimo, and was about to cross Georgia Strait to Vancouver, when it encountered a snow storm and rough seas off Gabriola Island. The captain noticed smoke coming from the steam engines and realized that the coal fuel bunkers were on fire. The Oscar retreated back to Nanaimo, where it sought shelter from the winds and waves. As the fire worsened, the crew abandoned ship, but lost their lifeboat in the snow squalls. They ran the steamer ashore on Protection Island between Gallows Points and Smuggler’s Bay. Then, they climbed overboard and ran south toward the mine fearing a disaster. They arrived at the Protection Island Mine by Gallows Point just as the ship blew up. The blast shattered windows and blew bricks off buildings across the water in Nanaimo. Island trees were leveled like matchsticks. The ocean floor fractured and flooded the coal mines 400 metres into the rock below the water. To this day, divers still report seeing a large sea floor depression where the ship was grounded. The now demolished post office clock permanently stopped on 1:55pm at the instant of the explosion. Turn left on Colvilleton Trail and go to the very end of the road at Gallows Point Light Park with several points of interest (#6 through #9) and the boat ramp found there. Protection Island Mine at Gallows Point, circa 1900 6. Gallows Point Park: In late 1852, a shepherd working for the Hudson’s Bay Company was murdered near Victoria and two indigenous men were accused of the crime. Governor Douglas was determined to make a statement and so dispatched the steamship Beaver to apprehend the escaped suspects in early 1853. One was from Cowichan First Nation near Duncan and the other was a Snuneymuxw chief’s son from Nanaimo. Professing their innocence, they refused to surrender, were taken by force, were tried and sentenced on the deck of the ship, then immediately hung from the gallows on what became known as Execution Point at the southern tip of what was then Douglas Island. After the island was renamed Protection, the area became known locally as Gallows Point as several more hangings took place here. Protection Island Coal Mine tipple and headframe, circa 1905 7. Coal Mine: From the turn of the century until 1938, a coal mine operated here at the end of the island. The shaft descended to a network of tunnels that extended for several kilometres in all directions: under land and under water. At the time, one could enter at Protection Island Coal Mine and walk all the way deep underground to exit at Esplanade No. 1 on the shore near downtown Nanaimo centre. All that remains today is the cement capped shaft that is under the building with a frame head mural on it. Bean House is the community centre with basement library 8. Beacon House: Up the hill to the left of the boat ramp is the community centre and library located in Beacon House. Beacon House was built in 1938 for the second light keeper and his family. By 1980 it was abandoned and eventually converted into public space. Museum located in the restored Light Keeper’s Cottage 9. Museum: Open in the summer only, the museum has a permanent outdoor exhibit that can be viewed anytime.

  • A Stylistic Analysis of the Petroglyphs of Gabriola

Name of Author (please print) Date / • • Title of Thesis: *1//£/CA/£ C/)£7~" &'7~OA*/££-~ S4— Degree: /HA~ Year: sZcTb 3> \ ABSTRACT This study explores the stylistic variability and underlying cohesion of the petroglyphs sites located on Gabriola Island, British Columbia, a southern Gulf Island in the Gulf of Georgia region of the Northwest Coast (North America). I view the petroglyphs as an inter-related body of ancient imagery and deliberately move away from (historical and widespread) attempts at large regional syntheses of 'rock art' and towards a study of smaller and more precise proportion. In this thesis, I propose that the majority of petroglyphs located on Gabriola Island were made in a short period of time, perhaps over the course of a single life (if a single, prolific specialist were responsible for most of the imagery) or, at most, over the course of a few generations (maybe a family of trained carvers).

  • Nanaimo Harbour: Past, Present, and Future John Dunham Address To
    Nanaimo Harbour: Past, Present, and Future John Dunham Address to the Nanaimo Historical Society on May 23, 1967 Transcribed by Dalys Barney, Vancouver Island University Library June 9, 2017 [tape starts suddenly] Mr. Whalley Well, it gives me very great pleasure in introducing the speaker this evening. Because the speaker and myself were born within 20 miles of one another in England. So, that really is something. [laughter] Of course at different times. [laughter] But Mr. Dunham has done a lot of work on the, and he had a number of photographs of the harbour and his maps, which really most of us have examined. And I'm sure we're looking forward to a very instructive lecture this evening. I’d like to call on Mr. John Dunham. [applause] John Dunham Thank you very much Mr. Whalley. Mr. Chairman, ladies, and gentlemen, when I was asked to talk about Nanaimo harbour: past, present, and future, I had a few qualms. And these related back to when I first came to Canada, in that I used to think that nothing was old until it was at least two or three hundred years old. Then, as I, as we lived in Nanaimo a little more, I became aware of the fact that this area had started its own history within the last 100 or 110 years, and that these were things about which people were still talking, and not something gathering fungus, shall we say, in the archives in London, or something that was so old that all you could go by were records, and you couldn't really appreciate the truth in these records.

  • Acknowledgements
    Acknowledgements The history of the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board (VIREB) reveals a dynamic account of professionalism, the unifying effort of many, and the motivation that drove the Board from its first day in 1951 through modernity. This narration endeavours to offer an objective viewpoint that unites documentation and individual recollection to tell the inspiring chronicle of the men and women who have joined forces in order to work towards a higher aim, a common vision. The history of VIREB reveals a philosophy of professionalism; its story is paralleled by the earned expertise of the real estate industry as a whole. It is with gratitude that the author recog- nizes those who were interviewed for the history as representatives of the evolving eras of the Board: Allan Armstrong, Pat Moore, Lloyd Wood, Reg Eaton, Ralph Walker, Bob Clarke, Gordon Blackhall, Jack Geisler, Dermot Murphy, Rick Evans (reflecting upon his Father Jack’s contribu- tion), Marty Douglas, Randy Forbes, and Donn Gardner. Their vast knowledge, strategic sense, and commitment to the industry are legendary and the history was not only told, but made with their help. While these Members and Associates have been instrumental in telling the story of the Board’s history they are not alone, countless Members stand equal in knowledge and commit- ment, and their actions are clearly recorded within the sixty years of Board Minutes. Above all, it is the Membership that directs the Board. It is that collective voice that has been the guiding force of VIREB; its history is the history of its Members. Supporting the Board Directors and Membership are the men and women that have orches- trated the business of the Board.
