Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Special Committee (St. John Board of Trade) On the Bay of Fundy and Harbor of St. John, N. B: Presented at a Meeting Held on February 27th, 1887 At the close of the last century the Bay was but little frequented by vessels from abroad, and had but a limited coasting trade. Its summer fogs, its low temperature in Winter, its want of light houses - fog horns, whistles, and automatic whistling and bell buoys um known - its tides flowing to uncertain heights and Setting in nu certain directions - its rugged shores and steep cliffs - its charts, more general than special - no doubt caused the then current ideas of its dangers. Still, the navigators of that day, with their greater watchfulness, caution, and judgment, kept safely on their voyages, With not as pleasant a duty to perform as if sailing the Carribean Seas, yet meeting with as few accidents and losses as on other and better known waters in proportion to its trade.
