Yarmouth: Councillor Wants Bluenose II In Town For Ferry Launch

A town councillor in Yarmouth is hoping to have the Bluenose II in town to help celebrate the return of the ferry service. Phil Mooney has requested staff to look into the matter of having the retrofitted vessel in the area when the Nova Star ferry begins its run from Portland to Yarmouth on May 1, 2014. Mooney says it would be a special moment.



Mooney says the town's mayor will talk to the province to see if having the Bluenose II in Yarmouth would be feasible. He doesn't know when further details will be provided, but says it won't be a back-burner issue.
