Note on jacket: “A visit to Sable Island, a crescent of sand off the Nova Scotia coast that for centuries reaped a grim harvest of doomed and broken ships. For reporter Fred Davis, the island’s “ghosts” come to life as he visits some of the residents who run the weather and signal stations. The lighthouse keeper shows him the great lamp whose beams now warn approaching ships of the graveyard of the Atlantic.” [running time 45:25]
