From here it was a 20 km boat or snowmobile ride to Princess Harbour. A view of "The End of the Road" from the boat. We passed Matheson Island on the way. We also pass Black Bear Island while crossing the lake. The lighthouse is now at the Marine Museum in Selkirk Tamarack Island north of Princess Harbour.. When I visited in 1974 it had two residents. We were delivering mail. Taking in a supply of ice. A bear, in our back yard.
