The Greville Bay region of the Bay of Fundy
propelled Nova Scotia to international recognition
during the 1800's, when local lumbermen, craftsmen,
shipbuilders and sea captains, worked to carve a place
in history through their shipbuilding and seafaring prowess.
It is said they earned the reputation for the best wooden ships
to be found anywhere.
For nearly two centuries the local yards handcrafted
hundreds of commercial sailing vessels, and laden
with Cumberland's prime timber they set sail
for countries around the world. |
