	Northumberland Strait - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It separates the Canadian province of Prince Edward Island from the mainland provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
		The western boundary of the strait is delineated by a line running between North Cape, Prince Edward Island and Point Escuminac, New Brunswick while the eastern boundary is delineated by a line running between East Point, Prince Edward Island and Chéticamp, Nova Scotia.
		While the shores of Cape Breton Island and eastern peninsular Nova Scotia are dominated by granite, sedimentary rocks along the central and western parts of the strait, as well as the entire south shore of Prince Edward Island, consist of sandstone, lending to beautiful sandy beaches with minimal coastal development.

		The Island was ready to join the Dominion, and the federal commitment of "continuous steam communications between the Island and mainland, winter and summer" was written into the bond of the union.

	History and Folklore of West Prince - The Phantom Ship (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Similar cases have been reported on the mainland, from districts opposite those on the island shore: Pictou Island, Cape John, Brule Point, Malagash, Gulf Shore in Nova Scotia and from the Buctouche - Richibucto sections of New Brunswick.
		An intriguing aspect of these eyewitnesses' reports (from both sides of the strait) is their familiarity, tending to prove that a curious light does appear, especially as the harbinger of a storm.
		Most witnesses are quite consistent with the description of the tree massed schooner or a brigantine; however one informant from the Wood- Island area suggested to me that it may be a reappearance of the ill fated steamer Fairy Queen, wretched off Pictou- Island on October 1, 1853.
