Leamy and Kyle Sawmill on False Creek, Vancouver, in 1890. Cassidy and Company took over in 1897. Mill closed in 1899. This scene is from a spot looking east from the foot of Ash Street.
The only ones who smiled for the camera were the horses. A logging scene in BC probably in the Twenties or earlier, location also unknown.
Man . . .camp life was never like this! The girls are fashion models from Vancouver who came up to the Holberg Camp of Rayonier for a show of the latest. The loggers and their wives approved.
Big man, big trees. Gordon Flowerdew of Beaver Cove and Englewood helped fall some of these forest giants. Gordon didn't like the loggers being separated from the rest of the passengers on the trips to town.
