Kingsport Wharf, from the north, photographed by A. L. Hardy at the launch of the barquentine Skoda,[1], June 1, 1893[2]
Skoda can be seen on the right middle distance just after launch, surrounded by debris from the slipway. In foreground can be seen three DAR flatcars on the wharf siding.
Shipping Historian and archivist Charles Armour indicated that the large vessel on the left is the barque Canada, the largest built at Kingsport, 1891.[3]. However Peter Kendrick, a shipping historian from Parrsboro identified the two large vessels at the wharf as the barque Conductor, on the left, built in Kingsport in 1880 and the barque Osberga, centre, built in Maitland in 1884.[4] The masts of an unidentified schooner can also be seen on the south east side of the wharf.
This image was included on page 34 of the 1905 edition of Hardy's book The Evangeline Land.
