A special thanks to VNHS member Louise Irwin and Vancouver Naturalists Director Bev Ramey for their time and support. Additional thanks goes to maritime archaeologist James Delgado, historian Derek Hayes, and UBC RBSC archivists Chelsea Shriver and Katherine Kalsbeek for providing further information on the accession process for the R.C. Harris fonds. I would also like to express my appreciation for the Bowen Historians at the Bowen Island Museum & Archives for their support during the research process for this project. Finally, many thanks to Rita, Elizabeth and Margaret Harris, for granting permissions for the use of the R.C. Harris maps in this publication.
