Watch the locals on the fishing pier tossing out their crab pots baited with chicken necks...then hauling them back in....Dungeness and the beautiful flaming Red Rock crabs are caught. The fishermen use a gauge to check the size to determine whether they are 'keepers' or must be returned to the sea....ropes of many crab pots tied along the pier. Watching float planes bound for Victoria take off from the harbour. "Susie" the local harbour seal comes looking for food handouts.
The center of the old harbour town of Nanaimo centers around the Bastion, a wooden tower originally built in 1853 by the Hudson Bay Company as an an outpost.
