Introduction Howard White
Pisces Ascending: The Little Sub that Could Tom Henry and Ken Dinsley
In the early 1960s, when Al Trice, Don Sorte and Mack Thomson went shopping
for a submersible for their seat-of-the-pants diving and salvage business,
they discovered that corporate giants like Grumman, Lockheed, Westinghouse
Electric and General Dynamics were spending millions to develop commercial
subs, but none was close to being on the market. With no capital and less
experience, Trice, Sorte and Thomson's answer was to build their own.
Svendson and the Tax Man Dick Hammond
In about 1919, when an official of the federal government arrives in Pender
Harbour looking to collect taxes from an A-frame logger, he gets a lot more
than he bargained for. More gumboot hijinks from master storyteller Dick
Hammond, author of Tales From Hidden Basin.
Who Shot Estevan Light? A Traditionalist Returns Fire Douglas Hamilton
There is no doubt that someone shelled BC's tallest lighthouse in 1942.
Some say it was a Japanese submarine. Others suggest it was a covert
operation undertaken by the federal government to unite Canada behind the
war effort. Lasqueti Island writer Douglas Hamilton says they're all wet.
Light at the End of the World: Cape St. James, 1941 Hallvard Dahlie
For sixteen-year-old Hal Dahlie, it was either stay in town and scrape
barnacles or take a stint at the coast's most isolated light station with
an old keeper who was more than a little strange. Dahlie chose the light
and is still talking about it 50 years later.
Claus Carl Daniel Botel, West Coast Patriarch Ruth Botel
Claus Botel found things very different than advertised when he arrived at
his homestead on northern Vancouver Island in 1913, with his wife, nine
children (one a newborn infant) and all their belongings.
Booting the Big Ones Home: Log Barging on the BC Coast, 1922-1998 David R.
Conn
For years, rough seas kept coastal loggers from getting some of the best
wood to the mills. But gradually, they found a way.
His World Turned Upside-Down Duane Noyes
"The rusty iron crypt in which he was imprisoned now lay fifty feet deep in
the frigid waters of Neroutsos Inlet, and the only way out - if there was a
way out - was down." A survivor's account of what it feels like to have a
2,200-ton log barge turn over on top of you.
They Don't Make 'Em Any More Department: Fisherman Hank McBride Michael
Skog
McBride recalls the 1930s and '40s at Namu where romances blossomed, booze
flowed, and fighting was an integral part of life during the golden days of
the mid-coast canneries.
Under Fire and Under Pressure: West Coast Shipbuilders in World War II
Vickie Jensen with Arthur McLaren
The steel shipbuilding industry in British Columbia has undergone plenty of
ups and downs, but the most powerful impact on the industry was World War
11. In 1941, Arthur McLaren went to work at West Coast Shipbuilders in
False Creek. He was one of 25,000 British Columbians involved in building
225 10,000 ton steel "Fort" and "Park" freighters for the war effort. He
recalls those days in this collaborative work with marine writer Vickie
Jensen.
