Item - [ca.1910]

The old overhead cable ferry plied between the New Brunswick shore (foreground) and the Maine shore (background) until the building of the International bridge in the early 20's. The two roads leading away from the Maine shore represent competition in the ferry business. The farm lying between was that of George Bernier. The Bangor and Aroostook Railroad at that time had its northern terminus at Caribou, and all goods for Madawaska, Maine came either up the St. John valley by the Canadian Pacific or overland via the Temiscouata Railway. At that time on solitary customs inspector handled all traffic of the Edmundston-Madawaska port of entry.
