Powell River Townsite Bersejarah

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.

When we arrived, we were given a key that did not work so we had to go back to the front desk to get a new key. The suite had a lamp on the bedside table that could not be plugged in, and the TV and refrigerator were also unplugged. The remote was missing, so we had to make a second trip to the front ...

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.

We were arriving a little bit later, check-in was 3:30pm, receptionist called asking where we were at around 4:45pm, she seemed dis-pleased that we weren’t there on time for check-in. She gave us a lock box code to get in. The room door barely closed, chain lock was hardly hanging on and the floors ...

It was okay but overpriced for what you got. The hotel is located in a strip mall. Depressing view of parking from rooms. Noisy from hockey teams. Staff was nice.
