North Sydney has an exciting history. Once the fourth-busiest seaport in North America, the little town was also known as \"Canada's Gateway to the (European) World\" when an underwater telegraph cable between North America and Europe was successfully laid, with the end of the cable in North Sydney. Because of its transport and communications advantages, the town played a vital role through both world wars. Historic North Sydney is divided into chapters by topic. Rainnie Gillis uses historical images and extensive research to explain transportation, business, the Newfoundland Ferry Service, and public service in North Sydney, among other subjects. Historic North Sydney is a much-anticipated addition to the Images of Our Past Series. | Historic North Sydney by Rannie Gillis, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
