2006 marked the 50th anniversary of the end of the ferry boat service and the construction of the interprovincial bridges linking Allumette Island Quebec and the provence of Ontario.
My grandfather, Thomas Morris started as the purser on the SS "Pontiac" and became captain in 1948 until its final voyage on October 14, 1956.
The ferry carried 13 cars and passengers and was powered by wood.
There was a memorial service today at the site of the ferry docking.
