The SS Joan, named for Robert Dunsmuir's wife, was a 831 ton, twin screw steamer belonging to the Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway. It ferried passengers between Nanaimo and Vancouver and was sold, along with the E&N railway, to Canadian Pacific Railways in 1905. It continued to operate the route until 1914 when it was sold.

Part of K. McCann
This image is from a hunting trip taken in India. The man seated in a chair on the left is identified as R.D. Harvey and Byrdie and Guy are seated on the right side of the picture.
Sarah Byrd 'Byrdie' Dunsmuir and Guy Audain were married in October 1901. After Byrdie had her first child, James, in 1903, she joined her husband and his regiment in Aurungabad, India. Byrdie did not enjoy the life of an army wife and so they came to live in Victoria in 1906, with an income provided by James Dunsmuir.
