Description

This black and white photograph features a man steering a motorboat. He is wearing a raincoat and a matching rain hat, looking out at the water and land in front of him. Near the helm is some of the mechanical equipment for the motorboat. A large sack or blanket is draped over the bench. In the background of the photograph, the land surrounding the river is covered with trees. Underneath the photo is an inscription written by Sternberg. "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). "
