Subseries · 1927-1928
Part of Finley McInnes fonds

Sub-series consists of images depicting RCMP activities at Base B at Nottingham Island. Working from Base B, the Hudson Strait Expedition conducted an aerial study of ice conditions on Hudson Strait in preparation for regular grain shipments by way of rail to Churchill and tanker to England. As the sole RCMP representative McInnes took care of pilots and other crew responsible for the Hudson Strait Expedition.

The photographs from the year on Nottingham Island (known in Inuit as Toojak) were of various sizes all on very thick, black card, suggesting that the Expedition or an individual sent McInnes an album or sheets of photos and he later cut out each photo to better store them.
