The Skeena River Commerical Cannery at Port Essington. This cannery was originally established as the Anglo-Alliance Cannery by Peter Herman in 1898. In 1904 it was purchased by the Skeena River Commercial Company and renamed. After the neighboring British American Cannery burned down in 1923 its owner, the Anglo-British Columbia (ABC) Packing Company, decided to lease the Skeena River Commercial Cannery buildings, which were again renamed as the British American Cannery in 1925. The ABC Packing Co. continued to operate it as a cannery until 1936 when the machinery was moved to their nearby North Pacific Cannery
