Book Description
Quadra, Read, Cortes, Stuart, Sonora, Maurelle and the Thurlow Islands--these are the beautiful but remote Discovery Islands, located between Vancouver Island and mainland British Columbia. This place attracted strong individuals, men and women who were willing to pit themselves against the elements in their search for freedom and self-determination. It was no place for the faint of heart in the days when the waterways were highways. The tides meet in the southern waters of the Islands, creating a mad tidal race of whirlpools and overfalls that can run up to fifteen knots. Discover each of the islands' seven communities, as Jeanette Taylor narrates an engaging story of pioneering, resilience, humour and kinship. "Tidal Passages" features historical images that bring the past to life, and contemporary photographs that offer a glimpse into recent developments and modern life.
