The Chignecto Ship Railway – 1973

This is something that has been kicking around the desk for a bit and I decided just to post it as I have it. In 1973, Donald Ramsey made a visit to Nova Scotia and was informed of this historic site, which he then documented and then asked for more information.

So here are the letters and photos. Unfortunately, the photos were taped to sheets of paper with some descriptions, but mostly, “engine foundation, brick wall…” etc. And, back in those days, one just snapped a couple photos and taped them together for a wide-angle view. The tape has long since dried out and the photos were all in a jumble. So I stitched together what looked right.
