The Maritime Singer Six was assembled at a purpose-built factory in east Saint John in 1913 and 1914. Brian Chisholm of Saint John has been researching the history of the Maritime Singer for more than 30 years. Gail Middleton Zellars and one of her three sisters were going through a box of items last January. Driver Ottie White catches some sleep as the Maritime Singer car is restarted en route to Halifax, January 1914. Fifty-eight hours after leaving Saint John, the men finally arrived in Halifax, suffering from exhaustion and frostbite.
