Murray River, mileage 43.64, Murray Harbour Sub-division, Canadian National Railways

  • CA PCA Acc4312
  • Collection
  • Copied 1993

This collection consists of a plan of Murray River south of the river showing the line and property of the railway. The plan also includes names of other property owners and locations of various buildings and businesses.

In April 1871, the Prince Edward Island Legislature approved the Railroad Construction Bill which authorized construction of a railroad throughout the Island. The financial burden of such an undertaking was one of the major considerations for joining Confederation two years later. Somewhat erratic service was provided by the contractors until the railroad was turned over to Thomas Swinyard, Dominion Government Commissioner in December 1874. Trains running according to an established timetable began in April 1875 from Charlottetown to Summerside, Georgetown, and Souris return and from Summerside to Tignish. The branch line to Murray Harbour and intermediate stations was apparently laid around the turn of the century although rail connection with Charlottetown was not established until the Hillsborough Bridge was completed late in 1905. The line was resurveyed in 1915.

Kyler Bowness collection : 1899-[ca.1900]

  • CA PCA Acc4178
  • Collection
  • Copied 1991

The collection consists of six copy prints of card stereographs which are dual photographic images mounted on cards, to be viewed with a hand-held style stereoscope. The images are photographed from slightly different points of view, providing the appearance of a three dimensional image when it is viewed through the lenses of the device. The photographs of "Chief Sark" and "Indian Basket Weaving. Prince Edward Island. Canada" do not reveal this dual effect. It can be seen in the other copies which include scenes of Souris, Province House, and a fox ranch in Rosebank. Three of the copy prints have "Copyright 1899, by B. W. Killburn" printed on the edge of the card.
