It is now a Fisheries Research Station. Francis Wm. Caulfeild bought acreage around Skunk Cove from Balfor Ker. Ker acquired the property from Nils Frolander, the original pre-emptor. Ker allowed the Pilot Boat Captains to erect the “Pilot House” just outside the Cove. Caulfeild charged the Pilots $1 a month rental so that the pilots would have no claim on the land.
