Description

This black and white photograph features men standing in a boat at a flooded campsite. Sternberg notes that the boat and scow are six and a half feet directly over where their sleeping tents had been the night before. Three men stand on a small motorboat holding flags. George Sternberg stands to the left of two men. The scow with its tent is behind the motor boat. Trees are on the left and in the background. A mountain can be seen in the background. The rising river surrounds the boat and scow. 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). "
