Photograph of Rev. Rollo Boas and his wife Kay scraping paint from the Columbia Coast Mission boat "Rendezvous" at the Whaletown wharf. Ken Slater's troller "Wahkana Bay" is in the background, two unindentified gas boats are tied to the floats. Of note: clearing for the Huck family home in background indicates the year the photo was taken. There are two captions on the back, in different handwriting (top is Gilean Douglas'.)

Photograph of a white house with rock-walled terraces to its right. This was Amy and Scotty McKenzie's float house, moved from Von Donop Inlet in 1951. Amy was daughter of Ruth and Henry Byers, who lived in the “Grey House” west of the ferry landing. (The "Grey House" was later moved to Squirrel Cove next to the Store.) The McKenzie house was between the Grey House and the ferry landing; it was torn down ca. 1974. The terraces may still be seen in the small park next to the ferry landing.

Photograph of the "Rendezvous" in Whaletown Bay. This boat was owned by the Columbia Coast Mission from 1924-1955. It was operated by the Rev. Rollo Boas out of Whaletown from 1944 to 1954 and then briefly by Joe Titus, before being sold to Ed Tooker in 1955. Tooker renamed it the "Tari Jacque" after his two daughters, and used the boat for his work as a fisheries patrolman for the DFO. In 2015 Tooker sold the boat to Robert Critchley, who is the present-day owner (2021).
