Description

A very crisp, clear, morning of golden light striking a shack on the water's edge near the site of the old copper mining town of Britannia Beach along beautiful Howe Sound, British Columbia with Anvil and Defence Island 28 in the background. Britannia Beach is a small community in the Squamish-Lillooet District of about 300. First developed between 1900 and 1904 as the residential area for the staff of the Britannia Mining and Smelting Company.
The town is host to the Britannia Mine Museum, formerly known as the British Columbia Museum of Mining, on the grounds of the old Britannia Mines. The mine's old Concentrator facilities, used to separate copper ore from its containing rock, are a National Historic Site of Canada.
