North Cape A Different Past

The Hawbush tale is a fascinating one that has been passed down by people over the centuries. The stories of long ago originated around North Cape, a bleak and lonely tip of land that thrusts out into the Gulf of St Lawrence and Northumberland Strait, where scores of ships were wrecked

there in former years. The killer reef that has broken the back of many a ship reeks

with stories of the past. Most of the fishermen at one time could relate stories of wrecked ships and ghostly figures of the past.
