I have checked the Sweetland & Horsley book ISBN as requested and verified 1-878887-36-4 as the number printed on page 2 of that reference.Thewellman (talk) 15:46, 4 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Examining the 1946 B&M timetable cited in the article, it appears the connection for the steamer to Newfoundland was made at Truro, which would make more sense than Moncton. Also, the Newfoundland steamer departed from North Sydney rather than Sydney, as the ferries continue to do today. The connection to Prince Edward Island in this timetable does indeed seem to be made at Saint John, which is odd as Moncton or even Sackville would seem more convenient. The PEI connection appears to suggest that one would arrive on The Gull at 11:50 am and leave for PEI at 7:15 am - the next day? It would be interesting to compare with a CN timetable of the same vintage to see if one really had to take a day in Saint John to make a connection to PEI. Depending on the ferry schedule at Cape Tormentine, perhaps it did make more sense to stay in a city with hotels such as St. John or Moncton rather than spending the night on the dock at the Cape. A connection was made at Moncton to Campbellton in northeastern New Brunswick. Although the PEI example is the extreme if I am reading it right, none of these connections could be considered convenient even by 1946 standards! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ironsides01 (talk • contribs) 15:23, 22 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
