Description

This black and white photograph features men flipping the completed scow right side up. Five men are standing before or near the completed scow. All are wearing hats, and one man smokes a pipe. The raft, or scow, is being held up by supports while the men pose. Two wooden sawhorses stand in front of the scow. In the background of the picture are trees (left), a railroad bridge (left), and the Red Deer River (right). One man stands at the left next to another man on George F. Sternberg's team. A man stands in the middle, and another man stands with a pipe in his mouth. The last man stands at the right of the scow. Scattered around the site are piles of leftover wood that can be seen in other photos of the completed campsite. Handwriting is below the photograph. "George F. Sternberg, now working on behalf of the Geological Survey of Canada, operated a scow-based camp on the Red Deer River between Red Deer and the Munson ferry near Drumheller. Sternberg was assisted by Jacey Glen Mayberry (died ca. 1950; Mayberry 1985) from Red Deer, J.A. Smith, George Housten, and Peter A. Bungart (1876–1948). "
