Historical wire/cable ferries | St-Leonard N.B. – Van Buren Maine
Transcript:
Dear Amelia,
I rec’d your card before I left St. J. June 21st but was waiting for a letter. I am having a dandy time. Was to the “Cannon Ball” last night. Had’nt heard form Annie since I left St.John. Hope you are well & enjoying yourself. Write soon to your true friend Myrtle Dearton (?)
Historical Notes:
Today Saint Leonard, New Brunswick is connected to Van Buren, Maine by the Saint-leonard-Van Buren (1972) bridge which replaced an earlier bridge (1911), which in its turn replaced the cable ferry which you see above.
