The folks at Gondola Point will be getting a gift by Christmas.
That’s when the ferry William Pitt II should be fixed up, according to the Department of Transportation.
Since the ferry’s been sent out for repairs in Nova Scotia, it has been replaced with the smaller F-79 Woolstock ferry that holds 8 fewer vehicles than the Pitt.
The smaller backup ferry has experienced a few mechanical problems itself, which D-O-T says is due to overuse.
