Recherche dans la collection - Changeover of Department of Transport technicians on Sable Island

Title based on the following caption from the NFB Photo Story: 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.
