All gone to shit now

Titanic bow design, bad omen.

wondering at the beginning if this showed part of the highway that would be buried under the hope slide

Great video!

"...an uncharted bay" Wow. When your narration is written by someone with a head full of Hollywood melodrama. For a fact, the Aleutians had been exhaustively charted by this time. They would not have known that the bay would be a safe anchorage it it was not charted. That nit pick aside, nice little story.

I lived in Hope for 21 years. This was great to see!

This movie is an absolute gem. Are there any more of Hope BC?

Back before the 1967 Immigration Act ushered in the Great Replacement, destroying this once great country.

Thanks for posting. Very interesting.

How do you mention the paving of B.C.’s highways without mentioning Flyin’ Phil Gaglardi?

When there were no god damn Hindus, Asians, Immigrants or fucking homeless anywhere

At 0:57, that view of the piece of the Dewdney trail is so familiar. Almost unchanged.

we grew up there 67-70 where the moving truck was by that wall around corner my little sister got hit by a car / mom used to work at the A&W across the bridge , also worked at the movie theatre have great memories of lake side park as well of gyro park on the hill those horse swing things went back for a funural a few years back and it was a nice reminder of life as a little kid with memories of the family as a whole !

Cool old film. I love trying to identify the classic cars, when everyone used to drive one! There seemed to be quite a lot of shoebox Fords. I noticed the white road markings like we have in the UK. When did they go to yellow? Will actually be travelling this route today (16/7/24).

Fascinating for me to see. My mom would have been working for the Nelson newspaper in 1939.

Growing up in the Fraser Valley, it's always amazing to see a time when the interior was such a frontier land. I still marvel at the engineering work of building those roads.

I visited Nelson about 30 years ago and was enchanted, I was there 3years ago and don't plan to go back.

intresting to see the hiway before the hope slide

BC had no paved roads connecting it to the rest of Canada until the Trans Canada Highway over Rogers Pass opened in the early 1960s.

Quite the film, thanks for sharing this gem! 👍🏻

Thanks for putting this up!!

Does anybody know if this Parthia is the one by which Parthia Shoal off Stanley Park is named after? I understand it is named after a vessel of the same name which went aground on it.

Pretty cool film. Interesting to see that a private company like Island Tug and Barge paid money to have the film made. Unusual! Unfortunately, they are gone. Now Tidewater.

Maritime history ❤🙏🏼 🇨🇦

Impressive seamanship.

As a naval architect: Corvette to tug?!

Nearly lost it.

Nelson, Princeton and Penticton are very nice cities to visit. Kelowna and West Kelowna are great too.

I can taste the salt, I've seen cables part so scared me to see those guys checking it

Nice clip about history, thank you

After high school graduation I worked on the Sudbury II as a deckhand for a summer job in 1966. She hauled limestone in a barge from Blubber Bay on Texada Island to Astoria, Oregon. Russian fishing ships lined the 14 mile limit, and we passed close enough to see their crew wave to us. We went through one storm similar to the one in this film. I never got seasick, but I questioned the whole flotation principle of tugs and barges in such weather.

Scary watching the guy work above the tow line YIKES

The USS Guadalcanal captured the German sub U-505 and was commanded by Daniel V Gallery, who wrote a number of books, both nonfiction and fiction and all good reads.

So cool. My great GM came over on the Parthia - from Liverpool to Boston in1871 when she was 5 years old. Thanks for sharing!

Nice snapshot of history. Greetings from Chicago

A very painful sight to see.

^The most amazing thing about that video is at 3:12 I'll bet the Malahat has 15X the volume of traffic it had back then, yet still most of it is 2 lanes. Incredible

Thus ends the long and storied life of the _Parthia._ Eighty-six years of service, the longest career of any ocean liner, so long, in fact, that a second _Parthia_ had entered service with Cunard in 1948.

Is that the ss minto at 2:08 The good people of Nakusp pushed her out onto the lake in 1968 set her alight and took bets on when she would go down. Not their proudest moment!

In 80 years this town really hasn't changed!

great video.

I am 19 and I have lived in Nelson my whole life never would I have ever imagined seeing something like this.

This is a cool piece of history

Wow beautiful

"...fabulous cargoes of gold from the mining centres." Nope, not gold. Silver, lead and zinc, not gold.

the last trip she made was to San Francisco with salt bargues. I was on her as a young man

Thanks for the upload!

looked better in 1939 ,today you just have Californians and Albertans and cultural Marxists

Of the three cities; Nelson, Trail and Castlegar.... I enjoyed working in Nelson the most. The City seems to do it's best to hang on to the old ways; slightly slower way of life, businesses are closed on Sunday, people actually try to get to know you. Just a much friendlier atmosphere and general "vibe" in Nelson. Trail was not bad, either. A city dominated by Italians, one must learn the Italian way. They're not your friend until you prove your worth. Once you do, you're in for life. Castlegar? Cesspool.

great journey back! Thank you for sharing!
