Photograph of the damage at the Yacht Club when the high winds tore five boats from their moorings and beached them on dry ground.
Notes
March storms hit. Kitimat was unusual force this year. The above picture shows some of the damage at the Yacht Club basin early in the month when high winds tore five boats from their moorings and beached them on dry ground. This week rising waters in the Kitimat River brought down more of the winter's debris.

From the years 1953-1958, Mike Kinnear took photos during his school years, until graduation, while working for Fred Ryan Ltd. after school and holidays. Photos for him was a hobby, and he took many photos of the smelter and townsite as it grew around him. Mike also took a number of photos for the Kitimat Northern Sentinel, during the Ken Brumley and Pixie Meldrum years as editors. Mike and his family left Kitimat in 1958, but he spent the best part of 40 years in the photographic field, mainly in the retail/wholesale part of the photo industry.
