The Rupert River

Where the Rupert River empties into the Rupert Bay and then James Bay. That's saltwater. There are tides there, folks.
More of the same.
The Northern Store and storage building. Used to belong to the Hudson's Bay Company. This is right by the water and is the site of the first fur trade post in North America. Waskaganish (which means "little house") was known as Fort Rupert and Rupert House back in those days.
Beach on the Rupert. Not only historic for fur trade reasons, but also where I went for a swim my 2nd day here. Ashleigh and I had some little Cree girls following us around and playing in the water with us, all curious about the white girls at the beach.
