| Mayne is an island where
history is immediately apparent. Village Bay, where the ferry
docks, acknowledges a First Nations settlement of great
antiquity. During the 1858 Fraser River gold rush, the
miners camped in what is still called Miners' Bay, and the
historic Springwater Lodge has been in use since 1895. |
