14 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Friday, February 28, 1964 Harbor Has Long His . By FRED MALLOY, : Chairman, Oshawa Harbor Commission From the early 1870's, for about 40 years, Oshawa Har- bor was a thriving lake port. It was a regular port of call both east and west for many lake freighters which plied from the lower St, Lawrence to the Lake- head. | The harbor consisted mainly of what is now the entrance channel, with heavy wooden timber docks along the west side where we now have the concrete breakwater and tie-up wall, Oshawa railway ran a spur line to the Port of Osh- awa, At this period the railway had not yet become a compe- titive factor in Canada's trans- port scheme and the commerce of this district went through the Port of Oshawa. Gradually the railways took over the transport of goods, and their competition eventually squeezed the lake freighters out of 'business. The last "'pack- age freighter" called at Oshawa in 1936, This was the end of an era It is the policy of the Govern- ment of Canada to develop waterways, ports, harbors, docks, and other necessary navigation facilities as part 0 its program to provide means of transport to open up our country. In the same manner it has 'developed a railway, an airline and ainports. This is ar- ranged through the Department of Transport.

These members elected Sam Jackson as their first chairman. In accordance with their policy of opening Oshawa Harbor to the seaway and with the help of Mr. Starr, the Department: of Transport was convinced of the possibility of constructing a new dock to handle seaway traffic on the east side of the harbor, and to dredge the en- trance. channel .and east basin to accommodate the majority of Seaway draft vessels. At this point the land require- ment surrounding the harbor were recognized as being too meagre to justify the considered development. The City of Osh awa again entered the scene with 55 acres of its choice in- dustrial land surrounding Osh- awa Harbor. The City placed these parcels. of land under the jurisdiction of the Harbor Com- missioners to make possible the future development of Oshawa Harbor. At this point the Harbor Com- missioners are morally account- able to the Council of the City of Oshawa and to the Gov- Fred C.

MEET MONTHLY The commissioners meet a minimum of once monthly, on call, as often as six times month- ly when business dictates. The OHC has three paid employes ie. a part-time harbormaster, on call, Mr. Lloyd Gifford; a/ part-time wharfinger, on call, Gordon M, Robinson; and a part-time secretary, Mr. Run- dle, Legal duties are assigned to different lawyers. At the time OHC took over the harbor, the basin was used as a yacht and cruiser anchor- age and as tie up wal to dock visiting pleasure craft!
