Salt Spring Island Archives
Len Crawford came down from Campbell River. An independent logger for over 46 years, his logging career started at Salt Spring Island in the late 1930’s. He and his family moved to log in Blind Channel in 1940 and ultimately settled in Campbell River.
At the age of 16, Len owned and operated his tug and barge transporting equipment and goods from Shoal Bay to Vancouver, BC. When not working the barge, cod fishing took place. Len obtained private timber at Bickley Bay, BC at the early age of 23. He then formed his own company Len Logging Ltd. Throughout all his years (moving his camp 26 times), he became familiar with many historic methods of logging: steam donkey with fore and aft road, the Tyler Line, dozer logging with wooden spar and arch, sky lining, A-frame logging, skidder logging and finally truck logging with steel spar.
He wrote a book called The Way It Was, the true story of growing up in the logging industry through the Hungry 30's and the nineteen forties on the BC Coast. Len retired in 1989.
