An innovative portrayal of the history of the Union Steamship Company and its essential role as a communication link for the settlement and resource development of Canada's Pacific Coast. In the film, a radio show host invites listeners to phone in and share their memories of the old days of the steamships. The stories pour in and blend with archival photos, recreated scenes and voices from the past to provide an intimate portrait of the Union Steamship Company, the inner life of the ships, and their importance to small coastal towns. A discussion guide is available.
