Sable Island: The Feral Kingdom

Sable Island is a wild, 42-km sandbar in the Atlantic. One of Canada's most remote parks, it's famed for hundreds of feral horses descended from animals left in the 18th century. Known as the 'Graveyard of the Atlantic' for its many shipwrecks, it's also home to the world's largest grey seal colony. Access is highly restricted to protect this unique ecosystem. #Canada #SableIsland #NovaScotia #WildHorses 🇨🇦

Yo, ho, ho and a bottle of ... gin?

A Parks Canada archaeology technician on Sable Island (off the coast of Nova Scotia) recently found Gordon's Gin bottle that contained an old Canadian $2 bill and a note from over forty years ago.

"You could actually still recognize it as a Gordon's gin bottle ... it still had sort of the embossment of the name on it, but like a lot of the bottles on Sable Island — they don't break because there's no rocks on the island or around the island - they come up intact, but they do get quite sandblasted."

I always love stories like this. 🥰
