c1920s -- Selma Park Wharf with S.S. Chilco along side

The steamer Chilco was built as the S.S. Santa Maria in Glasgow, Scotland in 1883 and brought to B.C. by the All Red Line. It sold her to the Union Steamship Company in 1917 when her name was changed to S.S. Chilco and in 1935 to Lady Pam. She brought holiday makers and residents to Selma Park and Sechelt for many years. After WW11 she was sunk as a breakwater at Oyster Bay, Vancouver Island.
