Photo: crew in logging camp in 1905

Loggers outside a shanty in 1905, probably around Matagamasi Lake. The photo was taken by a Camp Temagami camper, whose first name is unknown, on a canoe trip. It must have been an exciting encounter as it was unusual to run into an active logging camp in the summer — this was the era of winter logging. The crew may have been late driving logs from the cut to the sawmill for summer milling. Courtesy of Temagami Station Trust
