520    "A maritime historian explores more than a century of 
       adventure and tragedy on the waters off Prince Edward 
       Island, from 1775 to 1899. Across the eighteenth and 
       nineteenth centuries, the wooden sailing ship was a vital 
       transportation link along Canada's Atlantic coast. Self-
       sacrifice, daring, skill, wreck and rescue are all part of
       the history of these ships and the heritage of the 
       villages that knew them. With extensive research and vivid
       prose, local maritime historian Robert C. Parsons 
       documents all of this in Shipwrecks and Sailors of Prince 
       Edward Island. Prince Edward Island's legacy of tales from
       this era of sail is great. There is the wreck of the 
       immigrant-laden Elizabeth at Cascumpec, where the 
       castaways were saved by a Native, and the famous story of 
       PEI's Jessy thrown onto the shores of deadly St. Paul 
       Island. Then there is the strange tale of Rival caught in 
       the "Yankee Gale" and the SS Quebec's demise in the death-
       dealing tides of East Point. PEI ships were involved in 
       mystery, mayhem and wrecks in practically all parts of the
       North Atlantic: gripped in the sandbars of Sable Island, 
       plundered on the rugged coasts of Newfoundland, drifting 
       with no crew off Ireland, wrecked on Nova Scotia's shores,
       stranded on the Magdalenes, and "Lost with Crew" in the 
       vast Atlantic."--|cProvided by Freading.
