rine notable feature of Greater
Vaucouver's celebration of the
Diamond Jubilee of Confederation—
and one that no other city in be
Dominion can boast of duplicating—
was the dedication and official open-
ing of the new $6,000,000 Canadian
Pacific Pier B -C.
The new mammoth pier is the
second longest in the world, and was
planned with an eye to a prosperous
future when Vancouver will be one
of, if not the biggest, port on the
Pacific coast, and designed to It.CCORI-
modake at least two of the greatest
liners built,
It is a far cry from the first wooded
pile ocean docks built by the Cana-
dian Pacific in the early spring of
1887 when Vancouver was a city of
stumps and possibilities to the pre-
sent pie.r with nearly 3,000 feet of
berthing space available and accom-
modation for the cargoes of a dozen
even the most modern ocean grey-.
hounds. Representing the last word
in modern machine construction, the
new pier is also notable for the
pleasing manlier in which the prac-
tical has been combined with the
artistic.
The Canadian Pacific is interested
chiefly in the trade With the Orient,
Australia and New Zealand. Al-
though imports and exports are of a
mixed eharacter,. the most valuable
single article is silk. Rillt shipments
must be transferred from boat to rail
with the least possible delay, Facili-
ties embodied In the construction of
this pier ensure the rapid and careful
handling of all cargoes.
While designed primarily for the
use of its own ships, the C.P.R. will
allow pier B -C to be used by the ships
of other lines. Its length'of 1,140 feet
permits the docking on either side, of
the largest of the present day trans -
Pacific boats—the Empress of Can -
640 feet in length—.wit h a
•
smaller vessel. Its width of 381 feet,
permits a moderate sized boat to hoe
docked at the off -shore eed at the
same time that either or both sides o
the pier are in use.
A special feature of the eonstruction
of the pier .s that a promenade
