Bristol Is Alive: Bristol clears ice blockade self help style
The Providence Journal praises Bristol for tackling an ice blockade without federal aid. Town officials and local manufacturers joined to cut a channel from the wharves to the ferryway using saws, horses, and motor boats. The cost is shared by the town and business interests as they seek open tidewater access for coal barges and other vessels. Temperature will decide if the channel remains open, but the move sets a practical example for small tidewater ports.
