	Confederation Bridge (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Early talk of a fixed link can be traced to George Howlan who called for construction of a railway tunnel beneath Abegweit Passage at the same time as a railway was being built across the province in the 1870s.
		Due to the extremely complex tidal regime in the Northumberland Strait consisting of diurnal and semi-diurnal cycles, any attempt to close Abegweit Passage would be next to impossible since the tidal cycles on each side of a causeway would be placed at opposites to each other.
		The preference of Islanders was reportedly to use the name "Abegweit Crossing" which would pay homage to the Abegweit Passage, the vessel M/V Abegweit which the bridge would replace, and to the Mi'kmaq traditional name for the province.

	The Glenaladale Pioneers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		There was also the first British-born priest, Rev. James Macdonald, cousin of Glenaladale, a graduate of the Scots College at Rome, who had served in the ministry at Drummond for seven years, and was at this time thirty-six years of age.
		The emigrants were favoured with a smooth passage, and the voyage was uneventful, a contrast to that of the famous Flora two years later, when their ship was attacked by a French frigat In and the heroine, refusing to go below, had her arm broken in the struggle.
		But the stay was brief, for the settlers were anxious to reach their journey’s end, and the captain protestingly threaded his way up the narrow, crooked channel of the East River to the Glenaladale land in Lot 36.
