Mural #6 Arrival Of The 'Reindeer' In Horseshoe Bay

A luminescent cedar bark cloak envelopes the figure of a Native princess as she contemplates the arrival of the sloop Her Majesty's Ship 'Reindeer'. The ship's commander, Captain A.E. Kennedy, was an acquaintance of Isabel and Thomas George Askew, pioneers of Chemainus and mill owners for many years. The Reindeer made regular stops in Horseshoe Bay (now called Chemainus Bay) on its rounds of the coast.
