Albert County 175 - Photo A Day 2020 - April 2, 2020
This photo is of the Meredith White under construction in Alma in 1918. The Meredith and its sister ship the Vincent (seen behind the Meredith) were built for C.T. White & Son Ltd. Note the scaffolding around the ships used by the men while building the vessel. Although the deck and the masts are in place the planks on the hull have yet to be painted.

To go with our Homeschool project an amazing photo of Alma Harbour. This vessel tied up at the harbour in Alma is probably being loaded with timber, the ship was used to transport the lumber to market. Note the wooden bridge across the Alma river in the far left of the photo, and the piles of logs ready to be sawed on the dock.

Creation of Albert County Passed Provincial Legislature 175 Years Ago - March 27, 1845
The 175th Anniversary of the passing of the Albert County Act was recognized in the New Brunswick Provincial Legislature on Friday, March 27, 2020. The Act to form our county was passed by the Provincial Legislature on March 27, 1845, and did not become law until it was passed by the Queen’s Council in London, England on August 8, 1845. Thank you to our MLA Minister Mike Holland, who announced greetings and congratulations on March 11, 2020 from the floor of the Legislature. The Original Act is included in this post. You will notice that sections are “X’d” out, and this is because when an act is updated, the repealed text is shown with the most current version.
