As can be seen from the lists from the two trips, goods were carried for the two stores in Bonshaw , McNevin's and Beaton 's, as well as stores along the West River . The river boats to Bonshaw were also used by merchants in Hampton and Argyle Shore to shorten the distance they had to transport their goods by road. Individuals also used the boats to both ship and receive goods. In 1912 there was one warehouse near the bridge next to the Baptist church (24). By August 1923 there were two new warehouses each with their own wharf (25). These buildings served primarily as warehouses, but were also used as a fish packing plant, dance hall and a place to store cars during the winter. The two warehouses survived until after 1935 but were gone by 1958 (26,27). Boats which used the Upper West River to Bonshaw .
