Ferryboat Bristol To Undergo Overhaul And Shaft Replacement
The Ferryboat Bristol of the Newport and Providence Railway Company will be inspected by the State Inspector of Steamers next Thursday. It will then move to Newport drydock for a general overhauling and installation of a new shaft. During the two weeks at Newport the Beaver Tail will operate between Bristol and Rhode Island’s island. Due to a poor state highway on Ferry Road, the old slip near Constitution Street is used and Short Line buses are rerouted via Thames Street likely until road repair is complete.
