Gastown Steam Clock
The clock was built in 1977 by horologist Raymond Saunders and his associate Doug Smith, with the purpose of covering a steam vent and attracting visitors to the historic area. It quickly gained fame as the world's only steam-powered clock, attracting tourists and locals alike. It has become an iconic symbol of Gastown and a must-see destination for those visiting North Vancouver. The clock is not only visually appealing, but it also adds to the area's historic charm and ambiance, making it a significant historical landmark.
Visitors can witness the inner workings of the clock, where a miniature steam engine powers its gears and hands. The clock is meticulously maintained and continues to run on its original design, making it a true testament to the craftsmanship and ingenuity of its creators. Today, the Gastown Steam Clock remains a popular destination for tourists, and its continued operation serves as a reminder of the area's rich history and innovative spirit.
