Description

This black and white photograph features a motorboat tethered to Sternberg's scow, not seen in the picture. A plank of wood is resting against the back of the boat, as well as some blankets. A man is sitting at the front of the motorboat. He is wearing a long-sleeved coat, long dark pants, and a cap, and he has a pipe in his mouth. He is looking out to the left of the photo. Next to him is a cloth bundle. Trees and hills are in the background. 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). "
