In 1903 a canal was dredged at a low point between harbours so as to make a shorter, and safer, route for the S.S. Iroquois through the Gulf Islands. In the 1950's a bridge was built across the canal once again joining the two land masses. Today many small craft use the canal to go from Bedwell Harbour, on the south side, to Port Browning, seen here at the north end of the canal. On the left is Sharks Cove.
