Description
An old washed up boat juxtaposed against a rock emphasizes its return to nature or "from dust to dust". Just a few yards from near the site of the old copper mining town of Britannia Beach along beautiful Howe Sound, British Columbia. 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.
