Trenel Cove, circa 1915

Trenel Cove is where a ferry went between Gloucester Island and the mainland. Ferry Street, off of Washington Street, goes there. Today, the Route 128 A. Piatt Andrew Bridge crosses the Annisquam from the hill just behind Trenel Cove. Clammers still pull up their skiffs onto the beach at the head of the cove. This Trenel Cove photo is going to hang in…..Trenel Cove!

45 Years Ago In The Yarmoth County (Nova Scotia) Vanguard…

Linn Parisi Submits-

Hi Joey,

I thought GMG readers would appreciate this blast from the past seen today in The Yarmouth County (Nova Scotia) Vanguard newspaper. 45 years later: We’re still waiting. Think it will ever happen?!

45 YEARS AGO

The latest on a proposed second ferry service between Nova Scotia and New England was that Gloucester, Massachusetts, still might be the American destination for the new ferry, although Portsmouth, New Hampshire, seemed a likelier candidate, the Vanguard reported in its Oct. 9, 1968 edition. The Nova Scotia port for the service had yet to be announced officially, the paper said, but it looked like Yarmouth would get it, given the terminal facilities already in place here and the town’s location vis-à-vis the highways to the valley and south shore. The new ship was being built in Sweden.

Locals Insider Tip- Gloucester To Provincetown Ferry Half Off

I have had a couple people tell me that when you book the Gloucester to PTown Ferry through the Boston Harbor Cruises website when you get to the check out it gives you half off.

Here is the website –  Boston Harbor Cruises Gloucester To PTown Ferry

You could save some serious dough.   Don’t buy them until you are sure it gives you the discount but see for yourself.  I have it on good authority.

I just checked and these are the quoted prices from their website which is way less than if you purchase at the boat-
