| Description : | Sepia toned postcard of a diver sitting on a wooden bench. Beside him is a man holding lines. The diver is preparing to take a charge of powder into the water. This is during the construction of the N.A.R. / Million Dollar Bridge in Peace River. The photograph was taken by J. Martinos on March 24, 1917. |
| Commentaires : | The N.A.R. Bridge was announced in 1914 and was to accomodate trains as well as foot, horse and car traffic. The bridge was built between 1917 and 1918 at a cost of $1,500,000. It is nicknamed as the Million Dollar Bridge (Peace River Remembers, p. 405). This donation of postcards and photographs was donated by Ernie Skip, who acquired them from a Mrs. MacRae, thought to be Pearl MacRae. Pearl Hazzard married Wilson MacRae and they had an adopted daughter, Greta MacRae, now Greta Picard (2010). Wilson was the post master in Peace River. It is thought to be Pearl MacRae because she lived only a few doors down from Mr. Skip, one of the postcards has the name Pearl on it, and the dates of the photographs coincide with the times that Wilson and Pearl would have been in Peace River. |
