North Pacific's Gift Shop is full of unique items, like Margaret McDonald's pottery and wooden bowls. She recently visited NPC to restock her collection of decorative fish and humming birds! #consignment #princerupert

In front of the net loft—where women and children spent hours cleaning and repairing nets for gillnetting fishermen to use—a spider's silky web glistens. Like a gillnetter, a spider must consider a number of factors when determining the location of its web to catch prey.

This year marks 130 years since @NPCannery's founder John Carthew began construction on the land he bought for $183. He gathered twelve men to drive in pilings and erect the wharf and main canning building for use that summer, then sold the business for $40,000. #bchistory

North Pacific Cannery is home to the Grand Trunk Pacific Model Railroad Club. Housed in our 76-year-old salt shed, the model trains jump into action several times per day as tourists pass by and insert a loonie into a box. #princerupert #hiddentreasures

For tour guides at @NPCannery, this view makes enduring the occasional downpour worth the wait: the mouth of the #skeenariver and densely-forested Smith Island. The beacon? Not operating today, but a reminder of how communication with the fishing fleet used to work. #exploreanada
