Cedar Columbia Floated Inlet Timber Trunks Vancouver
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1910, showcases the natural beauty and industry of Port Alberni on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. The serene harbor is filled with massive Cedar tree trunks, each one carefully floated down the inlet from the surrounding forests. The Cedar trees, a symbol of the region's abundant natural resources, were an essential part of the local economy during this time. The wood from these trees was highly valued for its durability and resistance to decay, making it ideal for various uses, including construction, shipbuilding, and even railway ties. The scene in this photograph represents the connection between the people of Port Alberni and the land, as they harnessed the power of nature to fuel their livelihoods. The large, textured tree trunks, with their intricate patterns and rich, earthy tones, create a striking contrast against the calm, mirror-like waters of the harbor. The reflection of the clear blue sky and the surrounding mountains in the water adds depth and dimension to the image, making it a breathtaking representation of the natural splendor and industrial history of Port Alberni on Vancouver Island.
