Publisher's Synopsis
Because Nova Scotia borders the Atlantic Ocean, much of its history revolves around boating, fishing, shipwrecks, lighthouses, shipbuilding, sea battles, and those personages associated with those topics. This book covers the positive points of the province (the role of fishing, maritime museums, different kinds of boats and ships, the discovery of oil and natural gas under the sea) as well as the negative (shipwrecks, hurricanes, collisions of ships, and explosions at sea).
