communities along the coast
for most of the 20th century.
The bulk loading
facility, Pacific Coast
Terminals, came to Port Moody
in 1958 and developed into
the largest export terminal
of sulphur in the world.
The port also housed
other services, including
| ferries, which ran until the
1940s and took passengers
from Port Moody to Vancouver,
stopping at locations along
the inlet such as Ioco. Tug
boat services were also
available, and these were
mainly provided by the Baird
family, who bought their
business in the 1920s and
| worked for the Flavelle Cedar
Mill. Reed Point Marina is
another valued service,
developed in the mid 1970s
and used not only for docking
and maintaining boats but
also for educational
purposes.
Lastly, the port has been
known to host military
| vessels, ranging from the
British man-o-wars who would
use Port Moody's north shore
hills as targets for cannon
practice, to the gunship,
"H.M.S Curlew," and a First
World War submarine.
