Morrissey is a ghost town located in the East Kootenay region of British Columbia, Canada.[1] The town is situated south of Fernie.[2]
It was company town owned by a mining company, but the mine closed in 1909. An Internment camp was set up at rented premises in Morrissey from June 1915 to October 1918.[3]
A mine disaster at nearby Carbonada killed 14 in 1904.[4][5]
