BC logging equipment left to rust

Why would anyone beach a boom boat and walk away?

I am guessing that he couldn't walk on water. I am close to it with my size 16 Buster Browns on.

That boat looks like one of the Ville class goverment tugs that were around usually bought from goverment surplus sales.

Nauticapedia.ca is a great resource for the history of West Coast tug boating and boat history. I can't read the name on the tug to look it up...

Found this page on that site, 64Pacific.

Thanks for posting that site, I'm gonna spend some time poking around for sure!

I always looked at those 1" and 1-1/2 " bolts that tied those sleds together thinking how long it took to cut a thread like that by hand. I've cut a few 1" threads by hand and it wasn't a very fast process.

Any chance you or whoever got those photos has a serial tag photo? That's a t110 HD carrier and it appears to be a 98 with an additional drum.

Skadill does not give out any Information, that’s been his policy since day one. And you were kinda rude in asking

 

[skyking1]

almost every post he has made is about asking.
In his defense he did ask about old railways and has seen evidence of the roadbed, so he is running around up there. I hope to do so myself some day, taking the 5th wheel across for a summer and leaving it there.

Nothing rude. Love exploring. Helps when I have a general area to look in. What's wrong with being interested in bc mining logging rail history .
