Sea Captains and Shipwrights-
The ocean has an allure. From the coast of New England to the Maritime Provinces, thousands of travellers from all over the world are drawn to our wave washed shores each year to experience the sea, our friendly people and our nautical traditions.

Certainly the rhythms of the Island way of life are inseparable from the rhythm of the sea. Our history has been shaped by the ocean, as the early settlers arrived on ships and continued to rely on them as their only link to the outside world. In the nineteenth century, the shipbuilding industry fuelled much of our settlement. The golden age of the shipyards attracted magnates and manual labourers alike to Island soil.
