Kelowna s social history retained in a ferry Captain s old stories | iNFOnews | Thompson-Okanagan s News Source

Image Credit: Bob Hayman/Captain Len s Ferry Tales March 07, 2021 - 7:00 AM One ferry captain’s observations of the good, the bad and the ugly in the Central Okanagan remain an important piece of the area s social history, says a local historian. Len Hayman was described as one of “Kelowna’s legendary and more colourful characters,” according to author Sharron Simpson in her book, The Kelowna Story. He was instrumental in providing the ferry service between Westbank and Kelowna for roughly 40 years. From 1906-1927, before the province began providing the ferries across Okanagan Lake, all the vessels and barges used to transport people, horses and then cars were either bought or built by captain Len.
