DescriptionSalvation II Docked at Butedale, BC.jpg
English: Once upon a time, Butedale was the site of a large and bustling salmon cannery. It even had its own fishing fleet. In it's hayday, the facility at Butedale employed as many as 400 people.
This is the lower half of the hydroelectric plant that produced electricity for the entire facility. One of the turbines I examined in the upper section bears a date of 1937.
The salmon fishery declined, and the facility at Butedale was closed in the 1950s.
It's fun to tie up at Butedale, visit with Lou, the caretaker, meet his faithful dog and cat, and stroll carefully around the ruins.
Roche Harbor, it's not, but that's what makes it so charming.
