SUMMARY:Steam Logging Demonstrations

LOCATION:McLean Mill National Historic Site :: Smith Road Port Alberni, 
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:A crew of volunteers, led by 83-year old, old-time logger, Jack James, restored the McLeans’ steam donkey, raised a 100-foot spar tree and rigged it, complete with a ‘heel-boom’ for loading logs.  Now, they put on twice-weekly demonstrations all summer, showing how the old-time loggers ‘yarded’ logs out of the forest and loaded them onto trucks for transport to the sawmill. =0D=0A=

Steam donkeys used to be the workhorses of the West Coast forest industry in the first half of the Twentieth Century.  While a few rusted machines are on display around Vancouver Island, this is the only fully operational steam donkey left in Canada.  Visiting children are often included in the show.
