Description

This black and white photograph features the scow used by the Sternberg party on the Red Deer River in Alberta, Canada. The photo depicts what is underneath the tent. The scow is being towed behind another boat. Small waves of the water are seen underneath the scow. A large wooden crate or container is visible in the middle of the scow. On the right side, containers of the team's supplies are covered with blankets or other materials. Toward the back of the scow, two men are visible in the tent opening. Both of these men are wearing hats, and one is holding onto a vertical wooden beam. In the background, the land is covered with tall trees. 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). "
