Cusheon Cove

Over a million feet of lumber was dumped into the sea when the wharf collapsed. Some of it can be seen between the scow and the shore. The wharf collapsed in 1926. The large building in the background is the bunkhouse. The bunk house was horseshoe shaped and could accomodate 150 workers.
