Sable Island: Acknowledgements

All that remains: A figurehead from an unknown shipwreck, found in the sand of Sable Island (Actual size: 1.5 metres)

Sable Island-A Story of Survival began with several decades of research and collecting by the Natural History Section of the Nova Scotia Museum and the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic. Dozens of staff then worked to transform these museum resources into a travelling exhibit in the early 1990's. This website was created in the year 2000.

Major funding was provided by the Museums Assistance Programme of Communications Canada.

Special thanks go to Zoe Lucas, who took many of the Sable photographs (particularly horses); reproduced here with permission.
