Abstractiki, do you know if the Latitude 20 addition to the Islander was moved with the rest of the building or not?

I think tobunga posed a good question. it seems like latitude 20 wasn't part of the move since it appears to be such a long extension from the a-frame. however, in all of the articles that talked about the big move to Pollardville, it only mentions how the cut the place into three sections; top, and halved the bottom.

I often wondered about this myself during the first expeditions to the old place. But only the main Islander building was moved. I compared the color Islander postcard to more recent pictures out at the Pollardville location and can count the same number of outrigger beams in both locations.

Also I could never find it in the Islander blue print photos I took, not even the word Latitude was mentioned on them. The Latitude must have it's own prints since it was added on a few years later. I don't know for sure that Warren Wong also drew those prints or not. I may have to mount another expedition to find the Latitude 20 blue prints. Oh my...

Found this by accident:

That's a great photo and great find UB!

I interviewed a man once who told me that the Stockton Rotary club used to meet at the Islander often and had a group picture taken out front. He told me I should contact them to see if they still have it in their archives. Some times clubs like this have historians and they tend to keep old photos and newspaper stories. I put it on my list of things to do but it was moved to the back burner and I never got around to following up on it.

Thanks for posting it!
