Boston stock broker and speculator Thomas W. Lawson´s yacht Independence, which participated in the 1901 America´s Cup trials, but failed to make it to the actual race, which eventually was won by the Columbia. Independence was considered the fastest boat, but it was considered to be too fragile. My colorization of a Detroit Publishing Co. image in the Library of Congress archive.
The "America´s Cup 1851 - 1937" page has this information on the Independence:
During the first two races on 6th and 8th July, Independence was completely outclassed. On July 11th, after some modifications, he finished third, 6 minutes 18 seconds behind Columbia and 2 mn 58 s behind Constitution, these results show a significant improvement of the boat. The next day, on July 12th, Independence achieves a remarkable performance. After losing her topmast near the start, he finished only 10 minutes 44 s behind Columbia and 8 min 25 sec behind Constitution.After a stay in dry dock in Bristol, Independence races against Columbia on August 1st, Constitution was being repaired. He loses the race for 5 min 14 s.For the last race of his short career, on August 3rd, Independence achieves another remarkable performance. Over a course of 30 miles, he finished only 1 minute 35 seconds behind his rival, also beating the record times for sailing in twenty miles.
"I did everything possible to secure a race or series of races for her with any or all the boats of her class then afloat, the Shamrock I. and Shamrock II, the Columbia and Constitution. I even offered to keep her in commission beyond the season of 1901 provided I was assured she would have an opportunity of racing against all or any of the above boats.""When I became convinced it would be impossible for her to secure another race, and that there was absolutely no reason for keeping her afloat, I gave orders that she be broken up."Independence was in commission exactly three months. Her sails were hoisted for the first time off Boston light June 3d, and on September 3d they were lowered for the last time, in the same locality. The work of breaking up the yacht began as soon as she went out of commission, and in a month a pile of metal in a corner of a boat-shop at Lawley's yard was all that remained of her hull.http://america-scoop.com/index.php/en/

History of the 83 Mile Stage Coach Stopping House - Richard Walters, like many others, had left home and headed for the gold rush in British Columbia. While working his way north on Wright's road crew he decide to pre-empt a quarter section of land with his buddies, John Saul and Robert Beard. His brothers, Thomas and John, later joined him and took over Saul and Beard's pre-emption and started building a roadhouse. Over time the Walters brothers enlarged their acreage at the 83 Milepost and established other roadhouse farms at the 93, 105, and the 122 Mile. It is said that in 1865 the first White male baby to be born in the Cariboo was born at 83 Mile, to parents Thomas and Mary Walters. That same year saw the Telegraph come to 83 Mile with Albert Chrysler in charge. Chrysler then bought the 83 Mile from the Walters brothers in 1866. The latter part of the 1860s saw 83 Mile as a very popular stopping point for pack-trains and wagons. There was good meadowland and plenty of hay and oats could be put up for the winter. From late Spring through to Fall one could often see a dozen or more wagons at the 83 Mile every week but in winter months it dropped to pretty much just the Barnard's Express Company stagecoaches (later known as the BC Express company, or just BX).
Chrysler sold the 83 Mile to Murdock Ross in 1868 and in 1889 Steven Tingley, owner of the BC Express Co, leased the property. Tingley ended up purchasing the property in 1897 and it was at this point in time that the 83 Mile House was completely renovated and enlarged, becoming one of the main stations on the BX stage line. A meal or a bed for the night could be had for 50 cents and out back was a large horse barn that could stall 50 horses. Its this barn that was built in the 1860s that is still there today!
In 1905, with the retirement of Steven Tingley, David Stoddard of Clinton purchased the 83 Mile. Following World War 1, Stoddard sold to a government-sponsored Soldier Settlement Board who placed two veterans, Tony Orford and Jack Templeton, in charge and it was in 1922 that the 83 Mile House burned to the ground. During the 1930s, the 83 Mile House was rebuilt by a Williams Lake druggist, and the restaurant served meals, to Stage passengers, and then rubber tired vehicle passengers until the highway was relocated in 1948.
