c1910-1913 -- Porpoise Bay with Sechelt's second school building.

When the Sechelt pupils had to leave their school house on Trail Bay in 1913 they moved into this disreputable old building until T. J. Cook put up a proper school across the bog at the end of 1914. At high tide the water came up under the building which was used by Japanese fishermen to mend their boats and nets.
