The William G Ernst was built at the shipyard in Georgetown, Prince Edward Island and was commissioned in 1982 to run between Big Tancook Island and Chester on the mainland, making the crossing in 30-35 minutes. It can carry 146 passengers and a crew compliment of 4 with a tonnage of 150 GT. She's only one of three ocean-going ferries built for the Government of Nova Scotia. Right now, the Scotian is supposed to be replacing her until she gets back from refit.
