    Sixty years ago, Britannia was the home of the largest copper mine in the British Empire, where several thousand people lived in its two main communities; the Beach and the Townsite.

Abstract

Sixty years ago, Britannia was the home of the largest copper mine in the British Empire, where several thousand people lived in its two main communities; the Beach and the Townsite. Although it was a scant 50 km. from Vancouver, it was completely isolated, accessible only by boat. Today, few know what a vibrant community it once was.
