Photograph of the Hayes family house at the head of Cortes Bay. To the left on the beach is a smaller house; to the right a line of laundry is hanging, and a small building (outhouse or smokehouse?) is further to the right. In the foreground some logs are piled on the rocky beach. (same as #1999.001.653)

Looking north from Green Mountain over Carrington Lagoon and Carrington Bay (tidal falls in between) across 5 miles of water to Read Island, with a slew of islands to the north.
Looking out the door of Jim & Jan’s float house; Alan Bent & Gail Johnson’s house (right), Jason & Kathy’s (left) on the east of Carrington Bay in the distance.
File contains scanned copies of photographs donated by Jim Palmer for the Carrington Bay exhibit in 2009, depicting the community living in Carrington Bay in the 1970s and 1980s.
Jim Palmer and Jan Gemmel lived in a house on the west side of the log jam between Carrington Lagoon and Carrington Bay. Jim built the house at the property of John and Anna Gregg in Manson's Landing and relocated it onto pilings in Carrington Bay. Jim and Jan later fabricated steel pontoons for it. In 1985 the house was moved onto the floats and towed into Gorge Harbour by Bob Thompson with his boat "Sutil Chief".
