INSIDE A REAL COPPER MINE - Britannia Mine

[@alexmcrae8225]

Nice video. My dad was born there in 1920. My grandfather was the manager of the mine store at Britannia Beach. They were there for about four years. My dad's older brother went to the elementary school there. When my grandmother became pregnant with my aunt, she insisted they move back to Washington. I recently sent the museum a box of all the photos from their time there. My grandmother wrote under each photo where, when and who was in the photo. I hope someday I'll be able to get to see the mine. On my bucket list.

I have been on this tour many times over the years and every time the guide turns off the lights a eerie feeling awakens

We did it!!! 100K! Thanks for your support!

[@WillEdmond]

Always great storytelling! And those shots were amazing.

[@TheCanuckhead2000]

Both my Grandfather and Father worked for some time in this mine. My understanding is that during its peak, it was the largest producer of copper in the world. Thanks for the memories.

Any way you can do a series of smaller local museums to show off local heritages?

How long was the underground part of the tour?

[@themavericks8475]

That’s cool

[@redDL89]

Didn't they have special mining lamps in 1904 that could provide plenty of light but wouldn't ignite flammable damp? I recall such a specialized lamp being invented in the late 1800's but can't remember the name.

Cool

[@iTechSean]

How was Britannia Mines cause I went there with my class and it was sooo cold lol

[@DownieLive]

Yeah, it was cold in the mine, but it was hot outside. We had a really good time, though.

They filmed the movie Scoody-doo 2 , before they renovated the outside of the mine
