What do you recognize in this view of Huntsville\u2019s Main Street? Do you know the year it was taken? (Photo: Baker Collection, Muskoka Heritage Place)<\/p>\n

Last week we shared this photo:<\/p>\n

Remember the days when we could gather in crowds? We hope to get back to fun events soon. In the meantime, do you know what’s happening here? Or when? We’ve learned that Percy Wagg is the man sitting in the boat. Do you recognize any others? (Photo courtesy of the Baker Collection at Muskoka Heritage Place)<\/p>\n

Here are two additional photos provided by Doppler readers:<\/p>\n

\"Percy

And Allen Markle offered up these details:<\/p>\n

“Seems to me that photo must be the \u201970s or later. Doesn\u2019t feel like that long ago but the the one fiberglass hull looks like that era and the aluminum hull in the photo is still common today. The big pointer work boat, with forward mounted engine and the rear tow stanchion is a bit older.
\n\u2018Log rolling\u2019 is somewhat romanticized in this area, because our mills harvested a lot of hardwood logs and unless they are prepared, they barely float let alone allow a man stand on them. Mills like Bethune Pulp and Lumber and Muskoka Wood employed men to peel the hardwood logs, allowing them to dry a bit and even then they would have to go back for \u2018sinkers\u2019 when the spring flood subsided and the drive ended.
\nSoftwood logs such as pine and cedar would float and the log in the photo might be cedar.
\nRivermen wore \u2018corked boots\u2019 (boots with metal studs in them like a snow tire) to allow them to work on rafted and boomed logs. On big rivers like the Chaudiere and the Ottawa there were log rafts large enough for raft crews to live on. But I\u2019m sure that if you tried riding a half ton of peeled maple log over any rapids on our Big East River, you will quickly be able to drink standing up.”<\/p>\n
