Ken Slater (1905-1970) was a long-time resident of Cortes Island, a commercial fisherman and boat builder who was also an accomplished carver and cartoonist. His boatworks was located on the site now occupied by the Whaletown Post Office. Ken built the "Sylva Jane", launched in 1946, for Reg and Sylvia Walsh. He also built a model of the ship, which is in the collection of the Cortes Museum. Ken moved to Cortes Bay in 1962. His cartoons, artwork and wood carvings were displayed and sold at many island affairs.

Three greeting cards designed by artist Mary Weiler, who lived in Whaletown, and a series of four pen and ink drawings illustrating life aboard a fish boat. The latter were probably used as illustrations for an article written by Douglas (see Box 1 folder 29).
