Lighthouses near Bamfield
Jack Hunting was the lighthouse keeper at Pachena Point for several decades. He also served at Ballenas and Carmanah Point briefly in the early 1920's. We have not tried to speculate as to his photos but have added information we are certain of. The Bamfield Community Museum and Archives also has several of Jack Hunting's personal diaries which we hope to scan and make available soon.
