16. Half a mile further west are the buildings and docks of what is now the Federal Government's Fisheries Research Laboratory, for years a thriving fish cannery. About 1981, an Englishman named Sam Brighouse, one of Vancouver's original Three Greenhorns, built the first plant. He sold out in 1900 to another Englishman named Sherman, after whom the area was eventually named. In 1922, the Mi Herd family acquired the cannery and changed the name from Defiance to the Great Northern. When the Federal Government selected the site as ideal for a research centre in 1968, the Millerds sold out and the first phase of the Research Station was established. 17. A bit further west is another area very much a part of West Vancouver's early days. In 1898, Mr. Francis W. Caulfeild, visiting from Cornwall, England, took a cruise along the shore-line and was so impressed by what he saw that, the following year, 1899, he purchased a large acreage running from Cypress Creek to the rocky shores of Howe Sound. During the years from 1899 to 1909, Mr. Caulfeild developed a fine residential area, laying out his roads and lots to conform to the contours of the land. His planning and foresight are responsible for the amenities enjoyed by the residents of the district today. 18. In the early days of shipping in and out of Vancouver Harbour, it was necessary that pilots with local knowledge of the tides and shoals be employed to guide ships. A pilot boat was stationed at Caulfeild Cove and, as the pilots did not like sleeping on the boat, a cottage, known as the Pilot Station, was built on the prominent rocky point to the east of the Cove. The various pilots took up residence in turn, a week at a time. The launch took them from Skunk Cove (the original name) out to the ships under the guidance of Mr. Tom Grafton, and later by Capt Frank Kettle. The pilot station was closed in 1920, but Capt and Mrs. Kettle lived out their years in the cottage. Due to its age, decay, and vandalism, the Pilot Station was demolished in 1950. For obvious reasons, Mr. Caulfeild did not like the name Skunk Cove for the gateway to his property, and in due course in local circles it became known as Caulfeild Cove. The name was not finally and officially recognized until 1929 when the Federal Department of Marine and Fisheries adopted new names for several bays and coves along the West Vancouver shoreline. 19. The first Point Atkinson Lighthouse was erected in 1874. It was a square wood frame tower mounted on a rock and mortar base. When it was replaced by the present 60 foot tower, the base was left intact and can be seen in front of the new tower. The first fog alarm was installed in 1888 in a building just to the west of the lighthouse. The fog alarm, or fog horn, was operated by steam generated by boilers fired by coal. CORRECTION ITEM 2 - LUMBERMAN'S ARCH Your editor departed from Mr. Harrison's script just long enougn to make an error. Tihe old Lumberman's Arch was indeed planted on vertically set logs - out there were four of them , not two, forming a sort of open building. The sides with the narrow triangle on top spanned at least part of Pender Street . Sometime after the structure was ,n.^vCo to Stanley Park, the side ends were boarded in and benches ^ Head inside between the corner posts, leaving a walk area between. T.ie sketch is intended to give the general idea only.
