North Pacific Cannery

During our return trip home from Haida Gwaii, we had a day to spend in Prince Rupert waiting for the next BC Ferries sailing to Port Hardy.  That morning, we drove out to Port Edwards and visited the North Pacific Cannery National Historic Site a few minutes south of town.  Parks Canada has done a nice job restoring and preserving many of the buildings and the old equipment used to process and can fish during the early part of the last century.
