1960s -- Sechelt wharf at Block A of Lot 5312, GP1 NWD

Herbert Whitaker built the first wharf on Trail Bay in front of his Beach House, but it was soon destroyed by storms. He then built a more permanent wharf on Trail Bay at the south end of Porpoise Bay Road, later called Wharf Road. This was purchased by the Union Steamship Company from his estate in April 1926 and from the latter by the federal government under authority of Order-In-Council dated August 24, 1933. Immediately the old wharf and approach were removed and a complete new structure was built. In March 1949 tenders were called for a $50,000 reconstruction job. Crown Assets Disposal Corp. sold the wharf approach and shed to Art James owner of Sechelt Marina & Resort Ltd. on December 28, 1960.
