Description |
From the back cover: "Ghosts of the Bay leads you on an expedition to discover the haunting vestiges of Georgian Bay's forgotten past - now an eerie world of shipwrecks, abandoned fishing camps, lumber villages, boom towns, and missions. These worn monuments emerge strong with their colourful tales of adventure, scandal and folklore, revealing the lively and often brutal experience of those who dared to make a life on these shores. Legends and natural history will bring added meaning to the rugged beauty that surrounds you, drawing you deeper into the ancient rhythms of these magnificent waters, this magnificent place." Chapter 4 relates to the area of the Bruce Peninsula. Chapter 5 covers the area from Cabot Head to Manitoulin. |
