Striking Freight, Tugs and a Sailors Tale at Port
A British steamer Halifax arrived at the port with Captain Pye after repairs in Halifax. The Fairhaven ferry left Province Town for New Bedford, while the Dallas revenue cutter cruised. A convoy of seven towboats towed eighteen barges, and delays from a broken Cape Cod drawbridge hindered local shipping. Captain Vallentine reported a tempestuous voyage aboard the British Camer Navigation, delivering 26,000 boxes of fruit to Franklin Rolfe before heading to New York. The voyage from Gibraltar lasted twenty-six days, longer than usual, and the fruit cargo suffered from the long trip. This Landsman.
