Catergory: History, Nonfiction

Shirley Martin weaves accounts of shipwrecks and sea serpents, settlement and dispossession, tragedy and resilience, unsolved mysteries and surprising revelations to depict the rich and vibrant history of Ucluelet and surrounding area.

Once an isolated outpost, now a touted tourist destination, Ucluelet sits at the gateway to Barkley Sound, epitomising "life on the edge."

The history of Ucluelet begins with stories shared by local Yuuluʔilʔatḥ (Ucluelet) and t̓uk̓ʷaaʔatḥ (Toquaht) people about life before European contact. The arrival of fur traders, whalers and missionaries brought cataclysmic changes and compelling personal stories of the settlers and the pre-emptionists who followed. Drama abounds in the depiction of shipwrecks, lifeboat rescues and the building of the iconic Amphitrite Point Lighthouse. Martin describes the ships that were once a lifeline to the outside world, and details the struggle for the long-awaited road.

Chapters on mining, fishing and logging demonstrate Ucluelet's roots as a resource-based town and examine the profound changes brought about by the "War in the Woods." With the turnaround from resource-based employment, Ucluelet shifted into tourism.

Calm Harbour, Turbulent Seas captures the essence of Ucluelet, including an account of the still-thriving art scene, and concludes with a look at the present-day community--what has changed and what remains the same.
