Proud of our History - Remembering the SS Caribou

Marine Atlantic, its predecessor CN Marine, and pre-confederation Newfoundland coastal boats have a strong and proud history serving the people of Atlantic Canada through ferry terminals, passenger vessels and rail service.

The SS Caribou served as the passenger ferry between Port aux Basques and North Sydney between 1925 and its tragic loss in 1942.

In recognition of Remembrance Day, we honour this vessel and those who were lost. This tragedy continues to influence our employees and the people and communities we serve today.  Lest We Forget.

As always, we welcome your photos for posting in a future blog. Please email your photos to [email protected]  including any facts such as the date and location.

Next week, we highlight the MV Frederick Carter which serviced the Port aux Basques-North Sydney crossing from 1968-1986.
