Description: This guide describes the development of the one and half mile extent of the Steveston waterfront from the late 1880s to 1971. The waterfront is arbitrarily divided into eight sections, including the following:
- Scottish Canadian Cannery,
- Burrard Cannery to Gulf of Georgia Cannery,
- Star Cannery to London Cannery,
- Bunswick Cannery to Hume Cannery,
- Phoenix Cannery,
- Britannia Cannery to Hong Wo General Store,
- Great West Cannery to Colonial Cannery,
- Beaver Cannery to Canadian Pacific Cannery.
A short description is given of each section of the waterfront, as well as maps for 1889, 1897, 1911, 1936 and 1971. These maps show the locations of salmon canneries, public wharves and significant businesses on each section. Several photographs, mostly from 1971, show the character of the waterfront.
