Proud of our History – Pictou-Caribou-Wood Islands Service

Marine Atlantic, its predecessor CN Marine, and pre-confederation Newfoundland coastal boats have a strong and proud history serving the people of Atlantic Canada through ferry terminals, passenger vessels and rail service.

A strategic connection between Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia, the Pictou-Caribou-Wood Islands ferry service has served the people of both provinces, as well as thousands of tourists for over 100 years. From vessel technologies to customer preferences, this service has experienced significant change through the decades. While Marine Atlantic and its predecessors’ historical attachment to the service ended years ago, the connection is an important part of our Corporate history and remains a strategic piece of tourism infrastructure in Atlantic Canada.

As always, we welcome your photos for posting in a future blog. Please email your photos to [email protected] including any facts such as the date and location.

In next week’s blog posting we highlight the MV Bonavista, a Newfoundland and Labrador coastal boat that served from 1956-1986.
