About MV Abegweit
MV Abegweit was an icebreaking railway, vehicle, and passenger ferry which operated across the Abegweit Passage of the Northumberland Strait, connecting Borden-Carleton, Prince Edward Island to Cape Tormentine, New Brunswick, operating from 1982 until 1997. It was the second vessel to serve this route with this name: the first Abegweit (1947) operated between 1947 and 1982. The name Abegweit is derived from the Mi'kmaq word for Prince Edward Island, Epekwit'k, meaning "cradled (or cradle) on the waves."
