is
published
for
the
first
time
in
Trince

It
is
of
particular
interest
since
it
centres
on
the
important
shipping
intaliations
which
were
established
during
the

by
the

State
Army
including
the
great
ocean
dock,

y
Prince
Rupert
still
holds
proudly
to
its
title
of
'Halibut
Capital
of
the
World'
a
claim
backed
up
by
the
figures
of
the
catch
and
the
actual
Jandings
here.
In
the
year

the
halibut
landed
from
Canadian
vessels
at
the
port
of
Prince
Rupert
was
16,053,400

which
is
actually
here,
on
business
and
industry
which
are
today
in
existence,
not
merely
hoped
for.
It
has
been
said
in
the
past
that
every
dollar
bill
in
Prince
Rupert
has
at
least
some
fish
scales
on
it.
That
statement
(or
what
it
implies)
is
still
largely
true.
Despite
the
welcome
addition
of
other
major
industries
and,
after
making
full
allowances
for
the
business
Prince
Rupert
draws
from
