every time something like this happens I get more pissed about the Facebook news ban and how incredibly short-sighted it is.
An entire generation of Canadians keep losing their minds so some incompetent hedge-fund owned media outlets can get some extra table scraps.

You'd think that Meta not hosting a public-facing mechahitler would make it less harmful than Twitter, but the mixture of its apparent harmlessness and lack of journalism is having a more damaging impact on folks who don't self-identify as terminally online than Twitter madness ever could.

Any NB folks familiar with the Crown Grants map know what these penciled-in numbers refer to? These three look like they are for the covered bridge and former ferry wharves at Bayswater and Kennebecasis Island, but I have no idea what kind of documents are associated with the numbers.

Here's another image of Public Landing during the freshet, @ysjrob.bsky.social. To your point, the water is basically at the HAL mark. The wharf was graded to have a usable landing at various water levels so it would make sense to have the top of the lowest pierhead at the HAL to avoid collisions.

Any guesses about what these acronyms on the Public Landing wharf may be referring to? Ive assumed them to be initials in the past (names of the contractors who built the wharf?) but maybe they're more functional. Height At Low? At Medium Waterlevel?

Out this weekend gathering some more up-to-date photos for use in future wharf profiles and I am so enamored with the area of the Wolastoq around Oromocto, New Brunswick. Reminds me a little of the St. Lawrence in the 1000 Islands - but far less busy!

Recently I began writing up some of the history of the steamboat wharves in New Brunswick in a weekly substack blog. This is the latest, a profile on the recently repaired Gerow's Wharf.

Remains of Public Wharf in Saint John's North End. Built in 1779, the wharf was never upgraded with concrete even though it saw continual use by steamboats from 1816 to 1946. Considering its age and frequent damage from freshets while in service, it is remarkable how much is still visible.
