Collection search - Changement de techniciens du ministère des Transports de l'île de Sable

Titre fondé sur la légende suivante tirée du photoreportage de l'ONF: In days gone by only communication with the mainland was by carrier pigeon. Today Department of Transport vessels make from 4-10 visits a year. Above, departing technicians bid farewell to newly arrived group beginning one year's stint of duty. The island is rich in legend and old-timers pass on tales of the headless horseman who accompanies you on patrols on stormy nights, the ghostly shapes of lost schooners which rise out of the mists and the soft sounds of drowned sailors whispering in their sandy graves.
