EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this 1880s vintage photograph of Cole Island, formerly known as Magazine Island, located in Esquimalt, British Columbia, Canada. This evocative image transports us to a bygone era, as we witness the tranquil harbor scene unfold before us. The photograph, captured in the late 19th century, showcases the picturesque island nestled in the Northwest waters of the Pacific Ocean. Once used as a munitions storage site during the late 1800s, Cole Island later transformed into a thriving community, with a bustling harbor teeming with activity. In this photograph, we can observe the quaint wooden buildings that lined the island's wharf, as well as the traditional sailing vessels and steamships that docked alongside them. The island's namesake, Cole, was a prominent figure in the region, and his influence is evident in the well-maintained structures and orderly arrangement of the dockside facilities. The island's proximity to the Esquimalt River and the strategic location of the harbor made it an essential hub for trade and commerce during the late 1800s and early 1900s. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich cultural history of the region, as well as the traditional way of life that once thrived in the North American territories. As we admire the intricate details of this albumen print, we are reminded of the importance of preserving our historical heritage for future generations to appreciate and learn from. This photograph is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable piece of history that connects us to the past.
