My Grandfather, Robert James Parsell served as an Engineer on the Chicora before he moved to Victoria in 1902.I have a lithograph of the Chicora, Chippewa & Corona. It is not in good condition. I also have an original First Class Engineers Certificate issued to Robert Parsell's father Thomas at Toronto on the 16th of March, 1867 (Name spelling on this doc is Purcell Grandfather Robert joined P M. Butchart (B. C. Cement Co) in 1905 at Tod Inlet, BC until retiring in 1930. The property site is now the world famous Butchart's Gardens. I also possess a photo of the Chicora at some remote bay and the sidewheeler Urania (The Lake Erie Navigation Co) I am willing to provide copies of this data.
