Interviews with residents of the island of Grand Manan in the Bay of Fundy off the coast of New Brunswick. The first interviewee is Gleneatha Green Hettrick, who talks about: the history of settlement by United Empire Loyalists, the arrival of her ancestors in 1803; the importance of the fishing industry to the islanders; the independence of the islanders; and the islanders' distinctive "Yankee" accent. She also talks about the geography of Grand Manan, the need for many young people to leave the island to get work; the ethnic composition of the community; and genealogies of some island families. The next interviewee on the tape is 85-year old Gleason Green. He talks about the introduction of the first outboard motors on the island; lobster fishing; how he eventually installed a radar on his fishing boat but never depended on it; his family; the slight impact of the Depression on the people of Grand Manan; and his travels to Ireland, Norway, the Soviet Union, Sweden, the Netherlands and elsewhere. The next speaker is Leroy Flagg, who talks about the growth, harvesting, drying and preparation of the seaweed known as dulse.
