1917-1918 -- Porpoise Bay, footbridge and second school

Building at west end of the footbridge was once a shed used by Japanese fishermen to mend their boats and nets. From 1913 to 1914 it was Sechelt's second school. The footbridge was built in 1913 by B. C. Public Works department. Jiro Konishi's farm is along the western shore in the upper left of photograph. The logs along the shoreline may have drifted there from the "Pollock and Ross Timber Camp" operated by Arthur Pollock and William E. Ross. Poise Island is in the upper right.
