“Absolutely wrong,” says T.N. Banks, 303 Harney street, referring to the view of H.M. Pritchard and others that a ferry from Newberry’s Landing in Tyrrell to Listers Pier in Pasquotank, would be impracticable.
“I have been fishing in the sound off and on for the past 50 years,” says Mr. Banks, “and the crossing of the sound between these two points presents no difficulties to the ordinary type of vessel operating in sound waters except in case of a severe storm.
“As to the matter of no pier’s being able to stand at Listers Point,” he says, “I know that one pier has already been built there and it stood for a number of years. In fact some of the piling of this pier are still there.”
