About 150 miles east of Halifax lies a treacherous sandbank known as Sable Island. Often shrouded in fog, Sable Island has been trapping and sinking ships for hundreds of years. History shows that ships that get stuck there almost never get off. And many of them disappear in a short time beneath the ever-shifting sand. Because of its many shipwrecks, Sable Island is known as the Graveyard of the Atlantic. The island is a fragile and protected area, and is generally off limits to visitors. The Sable Island links below, provide historical information and pictures of the island and its shipwrecks.
