He went West from Kippen forty-seven years Y n y rs ago and retired four years ago. He was in his 82nd year. interment was in Riverhurst on Wednesday, Mr. Robert McGregor, a nephew, at- tended the funeral. The Grand Trunk was describ- ed by Leslie's as "not only our great highway to the Canadas, but . . . our bond of union to be only the more dearly prized, as time shall. develop its value to the Canadas and to ourselves." Yet, before the bridge was built, the railway's only connection with the south shore of the St. Lawr- ence and with the United States was -by paddle -wheel ferry boats and barges. Traces of the old wharf at Point St. Charles may he seen at low water immediately be- low the bridge. The other- wharf was at. Longueuil. There were three terries, not named but numbered, built by the famous ship builder Cantin. No. 1 was launched on June 2, 1854; sold in '1862, it was sent to New York where it had service as a transport in the Civil War. What happened to No. 2 no one knows. It was launched in 1855. The third, which was launched later in the same year, was destroyed by a boiler explosion after a very short life on the river. . They were large vessels - 167 feet long, 24 feet wide at the wa- ter line and 10 feet from main deck to keel, with a tonnage of 242. Robert R. Brown, Eastern Canadian -Representative of the Railway and Locomotive Histori- cal Society, points out that they were 23 feet longer than the sum- mer ferries now plying between Quebec and Levis. Freight cars were transported on large barges with tracks on their' decks and' to tow them Cantin built two paddle wheel Jugs, the Beaver and the Muskrat, which were launched in June, 1954. Of course the ferries and, the barges could,operate only in the Summer. When the St. Lawrence was frozen over sleighs were us- ed, but twice a year, in spring and frill, the river was impassable for two or three weeks at a time: 'travel could ,be dangerous as well 8l5• uneomfortabie. A bridge was inevitable.
