Historique de la conservation
Portée et contenu
This photograph is formed by two large photos taped together. The panorama on the bottom half of the photograph is made up of 5 photos showing the workers of the Foundation Company BC Ltd. Their motto on a banner placed behind them that says: go easy. One ship a week. That’s all.
Although the 5 photos are placed together well there is still some faces that were lost in the making of the panorama. There are also the visible torsos of people sitting and standing on the roof of the building that were cut off.
The panorama photo along the top half of the photograph is made up of another 5 photos, but they were less well placed so there are obvious cuts in the image. This panorama shows boats that were in the company’s dock. One of the 5 photos shows a sign that says: Foundation Company BC Ltd SO Pier Hulls 211, 220, 221 9/15/19. There are two visible ship names, the Trois Rivieres and the Montreal (whose port of registration is Le Havre).
Regarding damage to the photo, there are quite a few things. There are four holes where it appears that when the two photos taped together they were held together with a ribbon or something similar. There is also some discoloration because of the age of the photo, but also because of what appears to be some water damage, all of this primarily over the faces of people. There are also a number of creases. The back shows a number of stains from liquids and also potentially a burn from where something hot was placed.
The foundation Company leased the shipyard in 1917 until 1928 which would be named Point Hope Shipyards in 1938 by the then owners Island Tug and Barge. During that time they built 25 wooden cargo ships. The list of the 25 ships that they built between 1917 and 1919 show that only 5 were for The Shipping Controller, with the rest being owned by the French Government, which includes Trois Rivieres and Montreal which were both built in 1919. Trois Rivieres and Montreal were scrapped in 1925.
