Trip Info
On the Lost Souls of Gastown, you can venture into our city’s earliest and most gruesome history – a time when Vancouver was the Granville Townsite, a violent frontier town full of hustlers and thieves, vagabonds and bawdy girls. you will hear stories of: Vancouver’s first madam, who built a glamorous Gastown bawdy house before the city even had a school; a long-forgotten plague that clutched the city in its feverish grasp; the terror of the fire that ate up Gastown in minutes and sent people sprinting for their lives down Water Street; a Klondike Gold Rush beauty, who had her heart broken – and her pocketbook looted – by a ruthless theatre magnate; and, the city’s oldest unsolved murder – the death of prospector John Bray.
