A great shot of the ship’s cargo at the Alma harbour around 1932. What do you think the barrels contain? Could she be a rum runner?

A great low tide picture from Alma around 1932. Tomorrow’s picture will show the same ship at a different angle.

Okay here is a photo that has come up for a great deal of debate at the Historical Society - This photo was given to the Museum as a negative. It was found in a local house with a collection of letters from Molly Kool. So it could be a photo of her, we’re just not 100% positive. What do you think?

Here is a great photo showing the fanfare behind the launching of the last tall ships built in Albert County, the Meridith & Vincent White. Notice all the ladies dressed in white, quite the contrast to other photos from the tall ship era.

I hope you like sailing ships because they’re this weeks theme. Some beautiful ships were made here in Albert County. Here is a photo of the ship Peaceland, at the wharf in Alma.

It’s Sunday and a time for rest, which is probably when this photo was taken. A great picture of the Wharf in Edgett’s Landing where the Gypsum from the King Quarry was loaded on Boats for Shipment Approx.1930’s.

And why not another photo of the Alma Covered Bridge, but from the other direction. This photo was taken circa 1950.

Another view of the Alma Covered Bridge with the Village of Alma. It’s hardly recognizable today.

Okay continuing around the county, with this amazing photo from Alma. Sadly this bridge is no longer with us, but with the size of today’s motorhomes it’s probably a good thing, although today’s utilitarian causeway lacks the majestic charm of this bridge.

Okay 10 points to the person who can identify where this might be in the county. This photo is from Archives New Brunswick, and is listed as An Albert County stream, c.1940.

This is one of my favourite views, which you can just glimpse today through the trees. It is between Hopewell Cape and Hillsborough, but closer to the Cape. The white structure to the right are the Gypsum Company Silos. Although probably safer, today’s guardrails lack the picturesque beauty of this ones from 1938.
