The Black Sturgeon area and the origins of Thunder Bay pulp
The Black Sturgeon River watershed area near Hurkett north of Thunder Bay supplied wood for over a century. Tendered at WWI end, it was awarded to J. J. Carrick, later flipped to a group that opened the 1924 Neebing Avenue mill, later Thunder Bay Pulp and Paper, with historic documents donated to the museum.
