My mate and I had a discussion about the most ship wrecks of any island on this side of the Atlantic.
He said Bermuda had the most. I asked if he had ever heard of Sable Island, it's about 20 miles long (a lot longer under the shallow water)and a mile wide at it's widest and about 250-300 km SE of Halifax N.S. He said no, but He was sure it was nothing compared to Bermuda. Now I think there were ,like 250 or 300 ships that went down off Sable and thousands of lives(like 4-6 thousand maybe more) I don't know how to word the question in order to get positive answers through google about this matter.

type "shipwrecks+ Bermuda" into the search box at the very upper right of this page and you'll get a zillion hits on the subject....and you can then do "shipwrecks + Sable Island" and get the same.......
as a maritime/naval historian and sailor of some 30 years and 30,000 miles my vote would be for the Graveyard of the North Atlantic, the shifting sands of Sable Island.......
