Wood Islands ferry run sees all-time traffic mark in 1962

{Reporting on the 1962 opera- of th e Northumberland Ltd. service between Wood Islands and Caribou, Capt. Claude Hunter. president of the firm. said "1962 was the bggest year of operations ever. and the future looks even brighter."

.During the year the ‘two boats. MV Lord Selkirk and the SS Charles A. Dunning. carried 165.010 passengers. 51.550 auto- mobiles and 10.285 trucks. This. compares with the 1961 totals of B3519 passengers and 47,276 au-

and 9.124 trucks.

“We only have to go back to .957“ he said “and we find that :he traffic between the two taunts has almost doubled in a

ve-year span."

In that year. which at the time was considered to he a»

J good year. approximately 84.000 passengers were transported along with some 23.000 autos and‘ 6.000 trucks. SHORTEST T0 STATES

He noted that in ever increas- ing numbers the travelling pu-f bite is realizing that the Wood lslandsCaribou route is s h o rte st to the New i-Ing-‘ land States. using the Yarmouth- Bar Harbour or Digby -Saint John routes.

A feature of last year's record is the fact that for the whole of the month of May. the ser- vice was carried on by only one of the ferries. the other being tied up for repairs.

Other points which aided in making this record possible. was the widening of the entrance to the harbor at Wood islands. from

to increase trade revenue

The general marketing pic- ture for island produce in 1.062 was about equal to 1961. which: could be considered an average. year. according to marketing di- rector Reid Sangster.

"Certain commodities brought less. while others brought more: we expanded trade in many areas and in others we lost a little ground." he said.

Asked to comment on 1963 market prospects, Mr. Sangster said “there is a possibility that? areas of Western Newfoundland may be included in our subsi- dized shipping service: I think the year will see moves in the direction of the Caribbean area with regards to marketing many

more of our products than we 0 now." ‘r “
