Extract from Oct. 5, 1982 "Echoes from the Past" by Marshall J. Bourinot in "The Reporter". Viewed and transcribed from the Nova Scotia Public Archives Collection, Halifax.

"Hotels and boarding houses operated livery stables back in earlier days, when horse-drawn carriages would meet ships at ports and the Northside of Isle Madame and Arichat. The "Seaview Hotel" at Arichat operated by the Bosdet family, had a horse-drawn stage coach meet out going and incoming ships serving both the South and North sides of Isle Madame."
