Description

This black and white photograph features three men on a scow holding three wooden crates on a river. A flagpole rises on each end of the scow. One flag is a solid color, and the other flag (based on evidence from other pictures) is the Union Jack. A dinghy is seen in front, and the other is behind the scow, also with a flagpole on each end. A man in front is sitting while two men are standing behind stacked wooden crates. Two bridges are in the background, as well as a building and several telegraph poles. A shoreline is covered in fallen branches, and trees line the shore. A hand-written inscription in cursive is beneath the photo. "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). "
