Moosonee pictures taken before 2008

Miscellaneous pictures of Moosonee, Ontario taken before 2008. Moosonee is a small town located on the Moose River near the south end of James Bay in Northeastern Ontario, Canada. It is the northern terminus of the Ontario Northland Railway. Although the Moose River at Moosonee is relatively shallow, Moosonee is still a port for the shipment of goods further north. In the winter, trucks can travel on the winter road to Fort Albany, Kashechewan and Attawapiskat, communities along the West Coast of James Bay. In the summer barges make the trip to those places and others.
Across the river from Moosonee is Moose Factory Island, the site of the oldest English settlement in Ontario.

My family was one of the first families on the air base back in 1962 and stayed there for 3 years. I lived just down from the school.

thank you for the nice trip to moosonee thru your photo gallery. i am a forester from the keweenaw peninsula, michigan. i have always been interested in the hudson bay, james bay shores. only receintly looking actively on the terra server and here. what kind of fishing do you get into there? got any pictures of fish? how about cultural resources... how long have people been on the shores there? what is the economic base.. looks like lots and lots of timber resources present. please contact me and perhaps we can share a little of here for a little of there, eh? most hopefully, my wife and i will be able to feel the waters of the sand bar some day.

Mike		15-Feb-2007 04:36
Hello Mr Lantz I used to live in Moose Factory in the late 70's to the mid 80's. It's very nice to sit back, relax, and keep in "touch" with the latest "Moving Pictures" of Moosonee & Moose Factory. Thanks

mary		12-Feb-2007 04:24
paul, you make moosonee look real nice, great shots....

Matt		17-Jan-2007 03:22
They are great pictures. My wife and I took a trip to Moosonee a couple of years ago. We took a lot of pictures of the area and really enjoyed our trip. It was very disapointing to find out that the film was loaded wrong in our camera(s). My dad was also disapointed as he was looking forward to see the changes to Moosonee and Moose Factory since teaching there in the early 1970's. Your pictures helped to bring back great memories and my dad is presently converting his old slides of Moosonee in the 1970's to digital pictures. Thank you, we look foreward to returing.

Yuri Amatnieks		13-Jan-2007 07:07
Fantastic Shots which bring back great memories. Been to Moosonee three times. Twice by canoe via Missinaibi and Moose Rivers and one via Albany River to Fort Albany and as the bay was frozen, a flight to Moosonee. I truly love the town and miss it greatly. It was great to see the familiar streets and buildings. Your talent has really captured the ruggedness and beauty.

Daniel, Switzerland		28-Dec-2006 13:39
When will we get new pics?? It's just an awsome page, thank you!

Paul Lantz		13-Feb-2005 05:38
