Generell Information:
Diving in
Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia is World
Class Wreck Diving.
Due
to it’s geographical position at North Americas
East Atlantic Coast; Nova Scotia and Cape
Breton Island have always been one of the
first stops from transatlantic voyages starting
as far back as the 15th
Century.
Many
settlers from Ireland, Scotland, England,
France, Spain and Germany landed on Nova
Scotia and Cape Breton Island, starting
a new live.
In
the first and second World War, Halifax
Harbour was one of the most important harbours,
being the last one on route for many supply
vessels on their way over the Atlantic Ocean.
Back
in the 15th,
16th
and 17th
Century thousands of ships were lost along
the Atlantic Coast, mostly caused by fierce
weather close to the shoreline, poor navigational
equipment of the time and, of course, the
many years of war between the British and
the French people. During the last century,
many more shipwrecks were added due to the
two World Wars.
As
of today, many thousands shipwrecks are
located around Nova Scotia, Cape Breton
Island and in the Bras d’Or Lake. Some of
those shipwrecks are accessible from shore,
some of them require boat rides and some
of them even have to be explored for the
first time….
