Administrative history / Biographical sketch
J.R. Morgan ran Morgan Logging from a floating log camp in various inlets and used to haul Davis rafts from Haida Gwaii to mills in Vancouver. He bought the steamer Prince Albert ex. Bruno and re-named it J.R. Morgan. The vessel was built as a steamer in Britain, was later used for rum-running on the east coast during Prohibition, and eventually ran aground somewhere along the coast.
