This memorial is an inscribed concrete slab, which was set by the Royal Engineers in 1865 and used as a survey point in 1898 by the Royal Navy survey ship, HMS Egeria. It is located just west of the Nine O'Clock Gun, in Stanley Park. HMS Egeria was a 4-gun screw sloop launched at Pembroke in 1873. In 1875 Egeria, commanded by Commander Ralph Lancelot Turton, proceeded to Perak, as one of a squadron of six ships under Captain Alexander Buller with his senior officer’s pennant in Modeste, to take part in an expedition against the murderers of Mr. J. W. Birch, the British resident in Perak. While the troops and a naval brigade advanced on the upper reaches of the Perak River simultaneously from two points, Egeria blockaded the Perak Littoral, and sent her boats up the Kurow River. These boats destroyed or carried off some guns, arms, and ammunition which might have been useful to the enemy. Severe punishment was inflicted on the natives, but the actual murderers were not brought to account for some time afterwards.

DEADMAN'S ISLAND
The name of this six acre island comes
from its use as a burial ground by the Salish
Indians. Early settlers used it as a cemetery and
as a quarantine area during the 1893 smallpox
epidemic. In 1944 it became a naval station,
H.M.C.S. Discovery - named after one
of Captain Vancouver's ships.

This bridge was built in 1932 to connect downtown Vancouver to Kitsilano. The engineer, John Grant, had the idea to install huge lamps at both ends of the span as a tribute to Canadian First World War prisoners of war, who huddled around open fires in their prison camps.
