Tancook Island Ferry Travels From Chester To Big Tancook Island To Little Tancook Island Daily.
Big Tancook Island | Ferry | Ford Model T | Chevy Deluxe | Nova Scotia | Canada
In this video we are exploring Big Tancook island. Big Tancook island is located on the South Shore of Nova Scotia in Canada. You have to take a 1 hour ferry ride from the town of Chester in order to get here. Many of the homes (about 125) are seasonal, but a select few, including my parents, have chosen to make this their home.
Go with me as we drive around the island in a Ford Model T and a Chevy Deluxe. Here you can see the ocean and what life on the island looks like!

Video Visit to Chester,NS 2008
Chester was officially founded in 1759 as the Shoreham grant, although French fishermen had already built a few houses on the site. The first permanent European-descended settlers were a group from Massachusetts who came to the area in 1761. Christopher James Power is often credited with the founding of Chester.
Chester is one of the wealthiest communities in the province as a result of being a vacation and resort destination, with many seasonal and year-round estates and mansions. The nearby waters of Mahone Bay and its numerous islands are well known for yachting and have made Chester into a cruising destination. A ferry from the village connects to Big Tancook Island and Little Tancook Island.
Chester was the site of a controversial plebiscite regarding the status of the village. A committee had been formed in hopes of changing the status of Chester by incorporating as a town, thereby leaving the Chester Municipal District. Many residents of the village fought the motion, citing higher taxes, costs for a town hall, a mayor, and water and sewage services as reasons to not incorporate. The motion was defeated in a public plebiscite.

Kayaking back to mainland Chester Nova Scotia from Little Tancook Island
During my trip to the island, I witnessed a big whale between the two Tancook Islands, and a large shark in the Atlantic Ocean on my way to Peggy’s cove on Sheraz’s tug boat. I learned that these waters are home to a Shark named Hilton for last few years. Hilton the shark has been tracked navigating between Nova Scotia and Florida.
