Two huge ferries connected Cobourg with the booming City of Rochester, New York State, on the south shore of the Lake and, if visitors were lucky, there might even be two vessels in the harbour at the same time. The ferries were more than pleasure vessels, for they carried goods, merchandise and vehicles back and forth in a constant exchange of commerce. They also brought an annual influx of wealthy American families who owned large homes in and around Cobourg and shared in the life of the town for the season. They brought their own culture and, by all accounts, mixed exceptionally well with the natives, providing seasonal work for domestic servants, gardeners and artisans to keep their mansions in good repair.
Ferries #1 and #2 served Rochester, New York; Cobourg and other Lake ports during 23 October 1915.
The harbour area had other activities going on beside those on the eastern quay. The centre pier at the water front had capacity to berth large lake vessels and was equipped with oil pipe lines to connect oil tankers for unloading fuel to the tank farm occupying land east of Hibernia Street and on which today the condominium complexes known as Victoria Gardens and Harbour Walk stand.
At the east corner of the harbour and south end of Division Street, a large coal shed stood with coal ready for transportation inland by rail. The railway spur line from the main CP and CN lines ran south in the centre of Spring Street, crossed King and veered off Hibernia, cutting south east at an angle to the harbour. Needless to say, trains had the right of way on Spring, and crossing King and on Hibernia Street. Until well into the 20th Century, horse-drawn wagons, traps and coaches wisely gave way to trains moving to and from the harbour.
Ferries that ploughed between Rochester, NY, Cobourg and other Lake Ontario ports carried on a thriving business transporting cargo, vehicles and passenger traffic. What with the passenger service, fuel oil, coal and industrial equipment moving in and out of Cobourg, the harbour was a place of constant activity. By the last quarter of the century, the harbour traffic and industry had diminished to a trickle. Ferries ceased serving the port, oil tankers and ocean-going vessels the served industry in town and the community came to an end. By the late 1970s the transformation of the harbour to accommodate small craft was complete.
