• This photograph shows the primary buildings of the Arctic Coal Company’s wharfing and storage area, located adjacent its dock on Advent Bay. The buildings from left to right are the ‘engineer’s house,’ the powerhouse, and warehouse #1. On the hill above the buildings is the company’s coal stockpile.
