Shipwrecks & Seafaring Tales of Prince Edward Island

by Julie V. Watson

In the 450 years since Jacques Cartier's arrival, Prince Edward Island's history has been tied to the sea and to ships.  From the first explorers to immigrants, traders, sailors, and fishermen, thousands of seafaring people and their ships have come and gone - many lost to the relentless sea. Their stories, though, survive in legends and folklore, in archives and family histories. This book includes fascinating stories of buried treasure, ghost ships, renegades, sharks, U-boats and seal hunts. All of which have become a part of the island's history and folklore. Softcover, 186 pages.
