Powell River historiske byområde

Powell River

Located in Powell River, BC. When the U.S. entered WWI in 1917, they embarked on a program of shipbuilding to offset heavy losses to merchant shipping from German U-Boats. As steel plate was in such great demand, government support was given for the building of seagoing ferro-concrete ships.
The WWII concrete ship-building program was more successful than its WWI counterpart. Construction was much stronger due to better cement and more steel reinforcements. Concrete bottoms, which eliminated condensation issues in steel ships, were well-suited for carrying dry cargo. These vessels handled well but were only capable of a maximum of 10 knots. All of the dismantled hulks were proud ships in their day - some fought battles of freedom, while others carried full cargoes along the world’s trade routes.
In the late 1940s, after rust and rot holed many of the original steel ships, Macmillan Bloedel settled on the collection of concrete vessels as a more permanent solution to their breakwater dilemma.

7,8/10 Good! (666 anmeldelser)
It is basic and what you expect for the cost BUT our bed was broken and mattress sunk in the middle. Kitchen light and stove light didnt work and the outlet for the TV had no power so we moved the TV to a working outlet.

Mean dog greeted us at checkin. The restaurant was closed due to renovation. The breakfast offered in lieu was completely inadequate. We chose this property because of the great breakfast reviews. Will not stay here again.

Fantastisk lite hotell med bare fire suiter
Jeg bodde der i ni dager da jeg besøkte familie i Powell River. Suiten var fantastisk med fulltutstyrt kjøkken, åpen kjøkkenløsning i tillegg til stort soverom og bad. Utsikten fra balkongen utover Stillehavet kan ikke beskrives med ord.
