We motored across to Jerseyman Harbour and anchored once again off the end of the spit. A couple out mackerel fishing came alongside and after fish and boat talk they gave us a handful of fat mackerel before heading back to Harbour Breton. They had lived in Riverport for ten years or so back when the fishing was good and knew Lunenburg from firsthand experience. We learned from them that the rusted hulk on the eastern shore was a fishing vessel that had broken mooring in Harbour Breton in a storm and been driven into Jerseyman Harbour. The hulk on the western shore was the remains of a coastal ferry.
