Scope and content
The fonds consists of a photographic copy of a duplicate of a ticket for passage "between Cape Traverse and Cape Tormentine, from board ice to board ice, with ice boats carrying mails" in 1886. The phraseology of the ticket seems to indicate that this was for a passenger who would be assisting with the pulling of the boats across the ice. The fare was $2.00.
Prior to the coming of the ice-breaking ferries, mail and passengers were transported between Prince Edwad Island and the mainland by means of small open boats which sailed in whatever open water there was and were equipped with runners and straps by which they were hauled over the board ice by crew members and passengers. If a passenger chose not to assist in the hauling, he paid more for his ticket.
