Telegraph Cove information


Telegraph Cove taken from Johnstone Strait

Telegraph Cove is a community of about 20 inhabitants, on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada, located approximately 210 kilometres (130 mi) northwest of Campbell River. It is a former fishing and cannery village that has become a launch point for eco-tourism. It shares the inlet with Beaver Cove which is 3 km (2 mi) up the inlet.

The community grew out of a one-room station at the northern terminus of the Campbell River telegraph line built by the federal government in 1911–12.[1]: 264 

Next to the arts and crafts gallery stands the home of community pioneer Fred Wastell, whose father purchased most of the land around the cove. Together with Japanese investors, he established a chum salmon saltery and a small sawmill.[citation needed]
