The smell of morning; the sound of morning.
The feel of morning; the morning's light.
Who is coming in; who is going out?
Is it the beginning of day; or the end of night?
Does it bring another opportunity; or another chance missed?

The MV Abegweit was an icebreaking railway, vehicle, and passenger ferry which operated across the Abegweit Passage of Northumberland Strait, connecting Port Borden to Cape Tormentine, New Brunswick, Canada, between 1947-1982.

The word Abegweit is derived from the Mi'kmaq word for Prince Edward Island, Epekwit'k, meaning "cradled (or cradle) on the waves." She could carry 950 passengers and 60 cars (or one complete passenger train of 16 railway cars).

In 1983, she was purchased by the Columbia Yacht Club in Chicago, Illinois. Chicago city ordinances barred the club from constructing a clubhouse on the waterfront, so the club decided to purchase the MV Abby and permanently moor her at their facility.

She is a grand old girl.

DuSable Harbor, Chicago, Illinois.
