AN EVENING WITH A LOCAL GRAND OLD LADY “The Swan”. A steam launch built in 1890, she plied the waters of Alberni Canal and Sproat Lake; then rested for 50 years on the bottom of the lake; was raised and renovated by Art Skipsey, who donated her to the Port Alberni Maritime Heritage Society; and is now on display at the Hutcheson Maritime Heritage Gallery. Come and celebrate this grand old lady’s history. Enjoy speakers, stories, video, conversation and refreshments. Date: Thu
