Here is the last in my series of fishing boats from the maritime provinces in Canada. Today's instalment is from New Brunswick where, at the Bay of Fundy, the huge tides cause the boats to rest on the bottom for a good part of every day.

At Hopewell Rocks in New Brunswick, giant rocks are perched on the shore. The shifting of the earth's crust ripped the layers of rock apart, glaciers carved into the cracks, and the sea continues to erode the base. According to MicMac legend, the … [Read more...] about Walking on the Ocean Floor
