Th” YUUOWUIS interesting address
on “Shlpping of Prince Edward 1..
Yesterday bl’ Mr- George w. wake- f0rd. who was for 26 years ussoomed with the Steam Navigation Company in Charlottetown:
When asked by Mr. Pope to add;-eg,
you on the subject "Shipping of Prince Edward Island" my msg thought was to relate my pergonil knowledge, having bewme mst ac_
iquainted with the .shipping of the 1,*
Iland when I was first employed by 0. 'firm ill Liverpool who acted as agents ,for 9. number of its shipowners and _merchants Then thinking that 5
imorc extended report would be prefer- Iuble I decided to examine the rec. _ords in the Customs House, and for lthat purpose called upon Mr. McMil- _lan, Collector of Customs, who very _kindly placed at my disposal the re. icords in his possession. These, on ex- lamlnatlon, I found to be the Regis. iivr of Shlnliinz opened ln 1990 and u l register index opened ln 1855 and still _ln use. By the latter I could get the _ships name, and the name of the ifesisfeffd Shlpowner, but not the ton- lnagc. i After spending many days tabulat- _ ing the number of vessels by the in iitial letter of the vessel’s name from ‘lass io 1999 I happened to mention ,to Mr. John McKenna what I was , trying to accomplish. He informed me that the Journals of the House oi Assembly contained an annual return
Island. Availing myself of this infor- mation I visited the Legislative Lib- rary and there iound the records from 1830 to 1872 inclusive, and by them I am in a position to give the ifoliowing information.

Charlottetown and Summerslde, She- diac, Richibucto, and Mlramlchl. On the completion of the Prince Edward Island Railway the service wls re- duced to between Charlottetown and Pictou and between Summerside and Point-du-Chene_ In 1891 the steel twin-screw steamer Northumberland replaced the Princess of Wlles. In 1896 the steel screw steamer Princess replaced the St. Lawrence, and l_n 1006 the steel twin-screw steamer Empress replaced the Princess.
Having examined a copy of the
Mercantile Navy List and Maritime Directory corrected to the 31st De- cember 1927 pubished by the Regis- trar-General of Shipping and Sel- men, London, containing the partic- ulars of all vessels then under the British Flag, in 1183 closely printed pages, I 1-ind that the~vessels then registered in Prince Edward Island were four steamers, two built in the province, namely: the Hillsborough and the Montague employed inthe ferry service at Charlottetown and Georgetown respectively. The total tonnage of the four is 368 tons, ln- clliding the Harland 217 tons and the King Albert 18 tons both. built in Nova Scotia. 'I`wenty-six motor ves- sels 530 tons, ten built ln Prince Ed- ward Island and sixteen built else- where. Eighty-six sailing vessels, 4221 tons, twenty-eight built in Prince Edward Island and iifty-eight built elsewhere.
The oldest vessel registered here is
the schooner Jessie Brown, 58 tons, built at Shelburne, N. S.. in 1958, and owned by William G. Richards, Grand River, King‘s County.
