Vancouver Harbor in 1898
By the Picturepops™ team
A bird's-eye view of Vancouver in 1898, with steamers trailing smoke past tall ships in front of the red-brick downtown and its busy wharves on Burrard Inlet. The city had been incorporated only a dozen years earlier and grew quickly once the first transcontinental train of the Canadian Pacific Railway arrived in 1887. For someone who loves Vancouver or calls it home.
