DescriptionSteamer Dufferin at the Government Wharf, Port Dufferin, with Smiley & Company's Lobster Crates awaiting Transport to Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, ca. 1910.jpg
English: 211-ton steamer Dufferin at the Government Wharf, Port Dufferin, Nova Scotia, with Smiley & Company's lobster crates awaiting Transport to Halifax, Nova Scotia, about 1910. The steamship service to Sheet Harbour began about 1890 and in subsequent years the City of Ghent, Wilfrid C, Strathcona, Dufferin, Margaret, Scotia, Chedabucto and various other steamers called at Eastern Shore ports. Dufferin began service in 1905; leaving Halifax every Thursday at 10 p.m. and arriving in Port Dufferin the next morning at 5:30 a.m., weather permitting. She then called at Moser River, Ecum Secum and Guysborough County ports. Dufferin carried passengers and a general cargo usually consisting of feed, hay, kerosene and groceries. On the return trip to Halifax she called at the same ports, collecting lumber and lobsters in the spring. On arrival in Halifax, the crates of lobsters were dumped into the water until the next morning, when they were transported by the Dominion Atlantic Railway to Yarmouth and then on to Boston.
