| − | This small coastal steamer carried freight and passengers. It was at first operated by the "Evangeline Navigational Company" to connect the "Missing Link" from [[Annapolis Royal]] to [[Digby]] between the rival railways of the [[Windsor and Annapolis Railway]] and [[Western Counties Railway]]. After Annapolis Royal and Digby were finally connected by rail in 1891, ''Evangeline'' was bought by the Dominion Atlantic for its Minas Basin service, connecting the railway service at [[Kingsport]] with Parrsboro. ''Evangeline'' was replaced in 1904 by the ''[[SS Prince Albert]]''.
