SEWELL Prescott
Moody thought “all
was lose” when he
drowned in 1875.

Ar least that’s the phrase
he carved into his stateroom
door as his ship, the S.S.
Pacific, sunk on its way from
Victoria to San Francisco.

But iew, Moody's grand-
daughter, Jean Greenwood,
wants to revive his memory

and that of the fost lands of

North Vancouver's
Moadyville.

Greenwood is secking the
help of the city 10. commemo-
rate. the Moodyville site
which, except for Moodyville
park, has all but disappeared.
To this end, the vibrant 91-
year-old has donated close to
$50,000.

On Tuesday, city council-
lors heard details about the
Phase I project designed for
“the lost. community of
Moodyville.” Thanks wholly
to Greenwood's contribution,

“the project. will Proceed as

planned.

lies south of Keith Road and
east of St. Andrews. Ic

nals, and ended close to
Brooksbank Avenue.

The lands were the site of

the Burrard Inlet Milis betore
Moody and his partners pur-
chased them ia 1865. ‘The site
then became known — as
Moody's Mill up until, 1872
when a local school teacher
then dubbed it *Moodyville.”

Moody is reported to have
been a man of great vision and
ambition. He built) more
wills, doubled production and
fed the wav in the technology
of his times. He is credited
with developing the Burrard
Inlet logging industry during
atime of doubt and uncer-
tainty.

His) suntimely death
brought about the end of an
era, but still his family and his
history lives on.

“We live on one of the
most beautiful harbours in the
world,” — said Greenwood.
“And he knew that.”

As she addressed council,
Greenwood proceeded to tell
the ghostly tale of her grand-
father’s demise at sea and how
years later, pieces of the ship’s
wreckage, emblazoned with
his . hand-carved message,
were found, She finished her
tale by saying that her geand-
father would be «happy to
know. that. “all is not lost”
after all.
