Google has Life's photo archive

Google is now hosting Life Magazine's photographic archive. If you do a search
for an image using Google, just set the source to "Life".

Below is a 1939 shot of what has since become Canadian Forces Base Trenton, on
the Bay of Quinte on Lake Ontario.

I don't see that as an option on either images.google.co.uk or
images.google.com. Is this available in the US only, does anybody know?

Fanstatic... One question though... Where's the island? If I have
my bearings correct, the causway should to the rear by the building
with the stacks (steam plant?).

I think we're looking south by southwest. They seem to have screwed about with
the terrain in the intervening 69 years without consulting us, so I am not
sure. I had a look at Google's maps of the area, but they seem to have been
coy about putting any detail on the site.

Try Google Earth. It's aerial and satellite photography.
