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.

I think this aerial shot bears that out as well (you'll need to zoom in). I see no evidence of the extension.
