Some Things I Learned

I learned a few interesting things last Friday. One of them was that the Pillsbury house by the waterfront is the oldest house in Prince Rupert still standing. It was built in 1908. Also that all the streets were boardwalks and had tracks on them for hand cars or donkey engines.

But what I thought was most interesting was that our harbour is the third deepest natural harbour in the world and is ice-free year round. There were a few other things, too, like Charles Hays came to Prince Rupert to see how things were going, and when he passed away, and that Charles Hays had a brother.
