Description

The bright red lobsters of the north crawl along the sea floor, looking up into a distant grey sky where bearded men drift along the waves hunting them. The clouds cover the sun, sparking many fragrant bowls of tobacco, giving the sea a slight smell of burnt earth and fruit. The harrowed sailors puff away on their pipes and settle in for another cold night. The Bay of Fundy is a bay on the Atlantic coast of North America, on the northeast end ...
The bright red lobsters of the north crawl along the sea floor, looking up into a distant grey sky where bearded men drift along the waves hunting them. The clouds cover the sun, sparking many fragrant bowls of tobacco, giving the sea a slight smell of burnt earth and fruit. The harrowed sailors puff away on their pipes and settle in for another cold night. The Bay of Fundy is a bay on the Atlantic coast of North America, on the northeast end of the Gulf of Maine between the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, with a small portion touching the U.S. state of Maine. Some sources believe the name "Fundy" is a corruption of the French word "Fendu", meaning "split", while others believe it comes from the Portuguese fondo, meaning "funnel". The Bay of Fundy is known for its high tidal range. The quest for world tidal dominance has led to a rivalry between the Minas Basin in the Bay of Fundy and the Leaf Basin in Ungava Bay, over which body of water lays claim to the highest tides in the world, with supporters in each region claiming the record. Folklore in the Mi'kmaq First Nation claims that the tides in the Bay of Fundy are caused by a giant whale splashing in the water. Oceanographers attribute it to tidal resonance resulting from a coincidence of timing: the time it takes a large wave to go from the mouth of the bay to the inner shore and back is practically the same as the time from one high tide to the next. During the 12.4 hour tidal period, 115 billion tonnes of water flow in and out of the bay.
