View from Nakusp looking out toward Upper Arrow Lake in winter, 1920s. SS Bonnington seen on lake at centre. Roof of Reid's store at bottom. Caption by Milt Parent: 'In spite of winter's harshness, activity on Nakusp's waterfront did not diminish in the days before highways became a way of life. The S.S. Bonnington is seen leaving for Arrowhead, leaving behind a snow-covered CPR slip and wharf. Reid's store in the foreground overlooks the CPR station and Jordan's warehouse. Lindsley's poleyard is on the far right bordering the sandy "point" exposed by low water. Circa 1920. ALHS Archives'
