- William_Pitt_(engineer) abstract "Captain William Abraham Pitt (born 29 November 1840 - died 12 September 1909) was a Canadian ferryman from the Kingston Peninsula of New Brunswick. He was born in Reed's Point, Kings County, New Brunswick, and for over thirty years he operated a small sail and oars scow ferry connecting the Kingston Peninsula with the Kennebecasis Valley.Pitt was the inventor of the underwater cable ferry. His new invention was installed across the Kennebecasis River between Reed’s Point and Gondola Point in 1904. Believing that the cable required to operated his new ferry was too heavy and bulky, Pitt decided the lay the cable out during the winter. He ran the ferry cable across the river allowing it to sink into place with the spring thaw. By the middle of the 20th century, New Brunswick’s road network improved and cable ferries to carry passengers and vehicles could be found in many river communities. Pitt later died from serious injuries obtained by falling into the machinery of his ferry. One of the two cable ferries currently operating at Gondola Point is named the "William Pitt II" in his honour.".
