The Plant Steam Ship Company was located at the foot of Sackville Street, on the waterside of one of the numerous downtown ‘arches’ leading from street to wharf, all of them now long gone from the urban landscape. The firm of Thomas J. Egan sold guns, fishing tackle and sporting goods, and it was in that building that the fire began.<\/p>\n

The Plant Line, established in the city since 1889, offered the only direct shipping and passenger service between Halifax and Boston, and thus captured the majority of business traffic along this important sea route.<\/p>\n
