Port Hawkesbury. Standing on the Port Hawkesbury Pier, this is a view of the houses and businesses on Granville St. and part of the Strait of Canso Yacht Club. In the days before the opening of the Canso Causeway, this is where the car ferries came in, connecting the mainland and Cape Breton Island. This is also where stood a large inviting sign with the words PORT HAWKESBURY WELCOMES YOU TO CAPE BRETON ISLAND for the traffic coming off the ferries. During WWII, my father came from Aylmer Quebec and happened to pose in front of this magnificent sign. I’m wondering if this sign still exists or if it was ruined with time and weather. If you can, check out one of my blogs Where My Father Was Standing for a bit of a story and photos.
