Description

This black and white photograph features Sternberg party's scow on the Red Deer River in Alberta, Canada. In the foreground are a scow with a small rowboat tethered to it and drifting on the river. A small motorboat is right up against the grassy riverbank. A plank of wood is in the motorboat and hanging over the back end. The boat also has a small flagpole and flag at the back. The scow is farther into the river and a man is standing at its edge. A tent is covering the scow, and it has a flagpole with a flag at the front and back. At the front of the scow is a raft on which two men are standing. Tethered to this raft is the small rowboat. 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). "
