Canada has an island called Death Island, also known as the Atlantic Cemetery. Why is it called the Atlantic Cemetery? Historically, there have been many shipwrecks in the waters around the island, and the silent world of ships has appeared frequently. As can be seen from the nautical charts drawn by some countries, various shipwrecks are scattered around the island, especially at the east and west ends of the island. It is estimated that no less than 500 ships have been killed, including ancient sailing ships and modern ships, for a total of more than 5,000 people. As a result, some crew members called him the Island of Death with fear.
Dead Island is located near important routes from Europe to the United States and Canada. About 300 kilometers southeast of the Nova Scotia Peninsula, many strange myths and legends about The Island of the Dead are widely spread in the West, which makes people feel afraid. The catastrophe inflicted on the crew of Death Island prompted scientists to explore its mysteries. For thousands of years, the size and location of this island has been constantly changing due to the violent enrichment of huge waves. It was originally a 120 km long and 16 km wide sandbar formed by the accumulation of sand sediments. In the last two hundred years, the island has moved 20 kilometers eastward, reducing its length by nearly half. Now it is 40 km long from east to west, but less than 2 km wide. It looks like a narrow crescent-shaped island. A fine sand is very desolate and terrible. There were no tall trees, just some beach grass and small shrubs. Historical records show that from ancient times to the present, all kinds of pirate ships, whaling ships, heavy ships, and modern Helens from all over the world have been buried under the quicksand of hundreds of meters behind Peijian Island.
In 1800, the Nova Scotia Peninsula found many gold coins, jewelry, books and woodwork bearing the coat of arms of the Duke of York. The matter was brought to the attention of the responding Governments. Because the "Flawn Sith" bound for England went missing after setting sail from Nova Scotia. The British Admiralty believed that after Freyne's death, the crew may have landed on Sabour Island, but they were killed by local residents and their property was looted. Later, after the investigation, the truth was revealed, and the name of the ship, along with the ship, was swallowed up by the merciless sea sand.
A few months later, Britain's Princess Amalia reappeared in the quicksand around Sable Island, uninhabited. Another British ship came to the rescue, but it suffered the same fate. The British government was shocked and immediately decided to build a lighthouse on Sable Island and set up a lifesaving station. In 1802, the first life-saving station was established on the island of Sable. The lifeguard had only one wooden shed with a fast whaling boat inside. There is a stable near the board house, which houses a group of strong horses. Every day, four lifeguards ride on horseback and patrol the island in groups of two, keeping a close eye on the movements of passing boats. The life-saving battlefield has played a huge role since its inception.
On 15 July 1979, the 129-passenger U.S. warship USS Stater Wilkie sailed from New York to Glasgow, England. Unfortunately, because of the heavy fog, in front of the Nansha Beach Pavilion on the island of Ireland. Under the full rescue of the rescue station, the entire crew escaped from danger. In January 1840, the Briton Mirtell was blown by a storm into the shoals of Quicksand on Sabri Island. As the crew was in a hurry to survive, they jumped into the sea before rescuers arrived, and all were killed. Two months later, the empty Mirtle was blown out of the sea by a storm and was only spotted when the Azure Islands ran aground again.
On the night of July 4, 1998, the French ship La Bourg sailed into this area when something suddenly went wrong. All the equipment on board failed, and the captain immediately ordered someone to repair it, but the fault could not be detected. Like the model, the ship drifted towards Sibar Island, and drifted faster and faster, farther and farther away from the course. The captain suddenly honked his horn, which was shipwreck Island. Haitai learned of the unexpected disaster and hurriedly ordered the steamboat to escape. Five minutes later, a muffled noise was heard, knowing that a large ship had crashed into The Island of Sibar and was killed. Since the shallow beaches of the island are often moved, there is a chance to find the wreckage of a boat on the beach. In the 19th century, an American Clipper was unaccounted for, and it wasn't until 40 years ago that the ship surfaced. Three months later, however, a 3-meter-high sand dune was piled up on the hull. In 1963, lighthouse keepers on the island found a human skeleton, a bronze buckle on a boot, a barrel and several bullets, and 12 Dublan gold coins on the dunes. Since then, a thick stack of £1 million Worth of Mid-19th Century British banknotes has been found in the dunes.
Since settling in Canada on The island of Sabour, modern life-saving stations, hydrometeorological stations, radio stations, lighthouses and helicopters have been set up on the island for the sake of safe navigation. When night falls, you can easily see the twinkling lights of the east-west lighthouse on the island 30 kilometers away, so that sailing ships can automatically move away from the area. Radio navigation stations on the island send radio signals to passing ships 24 hours a day as a warning.
Although the number of shipwrecks on the island has decreased considerably in recent decades, legends about Sabre Island still tell people to avoid this terrible cemetery. Sabre Island is not far from the east coast of Canada, but there is not a single plant on the island. Why does this island attract so many boats to approach automatically? There is not a single tree on this island. It turns out that this island contains a lot of magnetite, so it has become a natural magnetic wheel with strong magnetism. When the ship is nearby, all the instruments will fail due to interference, and the steel ship will be drawn to the island and deep into the beach. Because the sand is flowing again, under the action of ocean currents and wind direction, it will be buried without a trace after a long time. So the island became the island of the dead, the cemetery of the Atlantic.
