The Steamer Forest City

In the late eighteen hundreds, the bluff above Port Stanley’s main beach
was the site of the Fraser House hotel, and the area was known as Fraser
Heights. Extending west from it was a path leading to the bridge shown
on this postcard. The bridge crossed a deep ravine and the area was
known as “Lover’s Leap”. There are many different postcards which show
this area. Three of the postcards use this specific photograph. One of
them bears a postmark of 1907.
