10/06: Touring Around North Sydney
Category: General
Posted by: The Agnew Family
Neither Ed nor I felt like driving very far today, so we stayed in the North Sydney area.
There were lots of interesting buildings to take pictures of.
as well as some beautiful scenes.
One of the places we ended up was Ross Ferry. In the late 1800's Angus Ross and Phillip Fraser were among first the men to ferry people and horses across the channel. In 1917 the first car crossed the channel prompting the construction of a car ferry. The last ferry to service this area was in 1961 when the Seal Island Bridge opened.
We drove around an island that was approximately 20 kilometers long and scarcely populated. This is one of the three churches we saw on the island.
Seal Island Bridge.
One of Marine Atlantic Ferries that run to Newfoundland.
