Nanaimo Area Historical Photos

[Bathtub in Bohemia]

I just combed through nine pages of images looking for something funny. Can we have a thread of Nanaimo Hysterical Photos, please?

(I'll admit that the last image of headless fisherman is a bit of a giggle, but not quite hilarious.)

The thing that got me was the size of the fish surely they were not salt water species. two of them would be illegal now-a-days.

No idea of the species, and my father (the center, er, centre fisherman) does not remember where this was taken, other than while on a "Nanaimo fishing trip." Looks like he had "catch-of-the-day"... heads are cropped out to protect the innocent. Maybe I should have cropped out the fish...

Here's a picture I took a while back of the barn on the five acre farm on Howard Avenue that's about to get bulldozed for a massive development.
