Scope and content
The front of the page has two hand colour photos. The first is of “Bertha L” on fire at the Tofino wharf. The other boats at the wharf are “Ryuo II” and “Ruth B.”. The second photo is another one of “Bertha L.” burning but is being towed by “Ruth B” and “Norpack I” away from the deck. The photos are slightly wavy. “Ryuo II” was owned by Kitaro Nitta who worked as a fish buyer for the Canadian Fishing Co. Ltd. and Bertha L. was owned by the Clayoquot Sound Canning Co.Ltd.
