Catalyst Paper
Powell River's 'raison d'etre' is this pulp and paper mill.
The old ships parked in front of the mill form a breakwater for the barges. It's actually claimed to be the largest floating breakwater in the world, with 9 floating wrecks, most built of concrete during WWII. Definitely taking the kayak out for a closer look next time I come!
The Texada Island ferry arrives in the foreground.
