Proud of our History - SS Home

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.

A member of the “alphabet” fleet, the SS Home served coastal communities throughout Newfoundland and Labrador during its years in service. At 155 feet in length, it provided invaluable service to residents waiting to receive food, clothing, fuel, letters and parcels in the communities it served. The vessel was sold in 1948.

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.

In next week’s blog posting, we highlight the MV Ambrose Shea which serviced the Port aux Basques-North Sydney and Argentia-North Sydney crossings between 1967 and 1989.
