This is GRANTHAMS Landing – the dark flush in the ocean (salt water sea) to the right is a creek mouth – and I will have to ask around about what appears to be a water wheel in the creek – at the time there was a wooden bridge over that creek along “Marine Drive” – you cannot tell now as there is no wood bridge – but a careful person would note the filled ravine along Marine Drive. to the north (right hand side) in this photo – that was a post office and store. Mrs Fisher lived to the south of the wharf. Union Steamships used those wharves all along the coast. (Anytime the place is called LANDING) Thank you.
