BOO!

Happy Hallowe'en from New Westminster!

(I love how that one ghost is popping out from the attic window!)

Quarters

With a "good day" from the captain of the Samson V, so ends the photo tour of the ship. Perhaps next season I can get back with a better camera and pick up some more images of the engine room.

Snag

A view up towards the Samson V's A-frame and captain's cabin. The A-frame was used when the Samson V was hauling up snags (floating or stuck logs) from the river. The snags had to be removed as they were hazards for ships navigating the river.

Anchored

Looking down on the the deck at the bow of the Samson V. To the top right is the gangway heading up to the quay.

Captain's Hat

This seems like far to little steering equipment in too small a room to maneuver such a large ship.

Kick the Bucket

Or in this case, grab one if there's a fire.

Found on the roof deck of the Samson V.

Maple Leaf Forever

Shot from the same position as yesterday's, but looking towards the stern, up and over the paddlewheel and out to the Fraser River. Across the river is the city of Surrey.

By the way, all of these photos from the Samson V were taken in July. Today the wind is just as strong but the sky is a completely different colour! Novembrrrrr has hit New Westminster with a vengeance.
