 During the time the Chebucto was in use, it was mostly running alongside the Sir Charles Ogle, and the Micmac, which were two other ferries in the Halifax Harbour.Despite a delayed completion, disappointing first launch, and other incidents, the Chebucto served as one of the links between the cities of Halifax and Dartmouth for 27 years.It was finally sold in 1892 for only $275.
