[nsroots] Ferry Service to N.S. Discontinued

[Brian Smith]

Hi:

 

         This message slightly off topic, however I think it relates to
anyone who has family in N.S. and who goes back and forth every few years to
research their ancestry like I do. I just found out yesterday that the Maine
to N.S. ferries are to be discontinued (from Portland and from Bar Harbor).
There is a message at Bay Ferries website
<http://www.catferry.com/cat-statement-2009.html>
http://www.catferry.com/cat-statement-2009.html that details why. Nearest
ferry for anyone going from the states to N.S. will be St. John New
Brunswick which is a hike. They cite dropping revenues as their reason. Sad
day!

 

Brian
