When looking at the air photos what buildings are everybody using to orient themselves? Personally, my eye is always drawn to either the Lister or the Pigott building and then I think, "ah! Hamilton has never recovered from such wanton destruction and it is galling that the present City government hasn't learnt a damn thing from this tragedy.

That was in When i married he became a cousin I even got to ride to the top and have a look in I think things could have been a lot worse. It would have been so much worse if those buildings were simply ripped down. We wouldn't even have a downtown if that were the case. At the time, building all of those civic buildings was probably almost as ambitious as Harry Stinson's story tower is now. I dunno and I'm probably going to get grilled for this but I don't think there anything particularly special with what was replaced by Jackson Square. Also, you can follow the line going along Metler road in Pelham.
I used to live right on Metler Rd there last summer when I worked, and yeah, it's not in use, but fascinating to follow, as many of the powerlines are old and overgrown. I believe that is the line you are talking about. Think of what's there now if you were to stand on that spot on the roof of Jackson Square. Hardly any shops left along James and King William to generate that kind of foot traffic, Zellers is now a dead parking lot, York Street doesn't even exist anymore, the Lister's been left to rot and the property next to it to fall down.
Two-way traffic on King William cars parked the opposite way. City Hall has been replaced with City Mall.

The developement of electrical power started about from the Niagara area to points in Ontario. This view looks north towards the Dundas substation. The line on right is incoming from Niagara, the line on left outgoing to London. Note the fact no safety gear Note the workmen on the canal tower finishing it off while the line is only strung to the shorter tower on the left. It still exists today running from London to Stratford. It then descended and travelled diagonally across the beach strip, where it headed northease across Burlington, meeting with the CNR tracks past Guelph Line.
This line may still exist in the Hwy 20 Fonthill area. Part of this line still exists in the Pelham area. Ontario Hydro left one tower standing to mark the historical site of the line to Hamilton. It stands at Greenhill Ave at the foot of Cochrane Rd. This picture must have been taken no earlier than Notice the car next to HSR has double headlamps. I love these pictures. Would love to see more.: Do I have to go into Photo Bucket to view these pics?
Nobody can see those pics until next month. Free Photobucket accounts have a monthly cap on bandwidth. For these pics, it has been exceeded for the current month. The bandwidth has exceeded, many too many people have been looking at it and hogging up the server. You'll have to wait awhile. Part of the reason was George Hamilton laid out his village based on the "survey". The survey ran from "lower baseline" Burlington St. The survey was started in the east end, moving 1 concession west each time he reached a baseline. Because he had to scramble up and down the escarpment each time he went north and south, the links on his measuring "chain"gradually got thinner and therefore the chain got longer!!
This is why we have "jogs" on Main st. So it's now February, 'next month' How come they're not showing up? Sorry, the bandwidth resets on the day of the month the user registered, not the first of the month. You'll have to wait a little longer, but they will show up eventually. I don't know what day exactly, but definitely within February. So I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for photos in the same vein as stuckinexeter's, where to find them, etc. I'm mostly interested in pres material. Besides; it might be the last day of the month before these photos become available to view.
There are some incredible shots in this thread. Thanks to those who have contributed so far A true trip down memory lane. There was one picture of the canal taken from the Hamilton side. She used to do summer excursions mostly to Port Dalhousie and some moonlight cruises. If anyone else recalls, there was a ferry service that went from either the foot of James or John, over to the canal in the summer. I recall it vividly but don't think I've ever seen any pictures of the one s in service in the 40's and 50's. I've seen pictures of narrow beam boats that serviced the hotels there in the 20's and 30's but these were very beamy craft and not at all suited for venturing past the canal into the lake.
I would like to see the caption on the seventh 7th picture corrected. This name was changed in the mid s to Bridge and Tank Co. Dominion Bridge never was located there, they were in Toronto and Montreal and a few places in Western Canada. I worked for Hamilton Bridge for over 36 years and my father for some 30 years, thus I should know the area quite well. Today was our second-last full day on the expedition, and I do not want it to end. Tomorrow will be our last full day, then after that, everyone begins to head home.
On the glacier, we learned about the importance and the impacts that the glaciers have in the world today. We also learned that the average ice sheet like the one we were on, is melting at an average 9 cm a day, which is quite alarming. It saddens me that someday all of the beautiful sights and things we have been seeing may not be available for future generations to see. The Arctic is an unbelievable place, to say the very least.
I can barely find the words to explain the phenomenons that we have been seeing the past ten or so days. It is a treasure that needs to be kept healthy, not only for the pleasure of being able to witness it, but because it is a way of life and an entirely different experience all together. I always find myself trying to find new ways to explain the pure beauty of what is happening here everyday.
The people are incredibly friendly and this was and still is probably one of the best things to ever happen in my short life so far. I just hope that everyone will get the chance to experience it as well. A polar bear on the foot of a tidewater glacier at Croaker Bay, Devon Island.
Today is our second last full day in the Arctic! It will be a memorable day though; we are going to do the polar plunge! However, we just spotted a polar bear next to our landingsite, so we might have to wait a little before we can send out our Zodiacs. I have surpassed photos on the Nikon DX, and I also have over on my digital camera. I have to get ready! I love you guys!

So we got to check out the site that we were originally supposed to land on. I got some very nice pictures of one very photogenic polar bear! They are much nicer than my previous photos too! We were in zodiacs and it was on shore, so we got pretty close, still at a safe distance, but much closer than we could from aboard the ship. I am very excited to show these pictures to Megan, when I get back to Ottawa! I love you all!
I was so busy yesterday I had no time to write. In the morning we went into this little bay called Tay Bay. We did workshops again. I did the workshop called Life in an Arctic Pond. We found these tiny little fish, and I think they were the only life in the pond because it was just glacial water. Supposedly people saw 7. Around dinner time, we started to get into some rougher water.
You would be weaving in and out. Lots of people started to get seasick. We all had ordered our food but even I could only eat half of it — and I never get seasick. This morning we went out in the Zodiacs to this old R. P post it was really cool because all the buildings were falling apart. We were going to stop and explore the post, but suddenly we saw another polar bear! It was rolling around on the ground and it was so cute.
After lunch, we had anchored right near a glacier that was right on the water. We had to end the cruise shortly after that because they were worried the bear would get to close to us. We then did the second part of the trip; climbing to the glacier. It was only like a 10 minute walk, but it was so cool to get to actually walk on one. There is a stream of pure ice cold glacial water running through it.
We filled our water bottles with some of it, and it tastes so much better and cleaner than the water I normally drink. Today was the day we got to do the Arctic polar swim! Everyone changed out of their clothes and just in my bathing suit I was freezing! Everyone was freaking out and screaming.
When I got out I was really warm. When I got to the boat I took a hot shower. Tomorrow is our last full exploration day! Calving glacier at Croaker Bay, Devon Island. A photo posted by Students On Ice studentsonice on Aug 8, at 7: Yesterday I finally felt sea sick and it was unbearable. I had a really good morning though, we did a landing and we were on the land pretty much the whole morning and it felt really great, my soul needed to be out on the land again.
While we were on the land we had workshops and of course I took botany with Paul and most of us got stuck in the mud!!! It was very funny at first I couldnt stop laughing!!! We were all ready to go through the lake with our rubber boots and all of a sudden Paul sunk in the mud and we realized it was quick mud but we were too late. One of the students got stuck and she lost her other boot!
We tried for about 30 minutes to try and get it out but we gave up because our hands were freezing. It was a really great morning! This morning we went on a zodiac cruze and it was amazing! The weather was perfect and it was a good fresh air after being so seasick. We saw2 polar bears near the area and we went pretty close to the first one and it looked very curious. The other polar bear was sleeping on the other side of the area and it looked pretty comfy. Today has been a wonderful day. I am excited to go out on the land back home and go camping with my family. I love all of you and thanks for reading my blogs.
Have a good day. Polar bear swimming in Croaker Bay, Devon Island. After rough waters the night before it was nice to wake up to calmer conditions. We cruised all along the harbour and we got to see polar bears and an old RCMP post. Following the cruise, we returned back to the ship, but there were still so many activities left.
We also got to land on the island and stand on a glacier! It was so beautiful, it reminded me of why I was so lucky to be here. I also may have made history, as Alex, Chase and I were the first people to make Kool-Aid using glacier water. We also participated in the Arctic plunge! After that…fun time,we returned to the warm ship where I took a hot shower super refreshing and ate a wonderful dinner. Our evening plans were a briefing and an inspiring presentation by JR the birthday boy. Today was all about spotting polar bears. We saw them on shore, on a tidal glacier and in the water.
My highlight of the day was watching a giant iceberg roll in the bay. From a distance it was silent, slow and beautiful, though it was not hard to appreciate the power involved in the somersaulting of a multi-story building! The students onboard the expedition continue to amaze me. Its impressive to see so many young adults express their opinions and ask intelligent questions.
Before I begin writing about today, I just want to tell you about last night. First, Justin, a student from Pond Inlet, gave a fantastic presentation about his culture. He was so passionate, and an incredible public speaker. After that, Sarah Harmer sang some songs. She told us that she was going to play a waltz, and we could dance, or just stand up and sway. After the momentary discomfort of the motion, I laughed, realizing the awesome ridiculousness of the situation. Some people did get on the stage and dance the waltz. This morning, we were going to land, but there were three polar bears spotted, so they decided it would be safer to just take the zodiacs out.
It was wavy when we got out to the edge of Lancaster Sound. We rounded the bend, and back into another little harbour.
