Grand Manan Island, Island in Bay of Fundy, Canada.
Grand Manan Island extends 15 miles in length and 6 miles in width, featuring coastal cliffs that rise up to 410 feet above sea level.
The first permanent settlement was established in 1784 by Moses Gerrish, leading a group of loyalists after the American Revolution to this maritime location.
The island maintains strong fishing traditions with numerous operational herring weirs and fishing boats bringing in daily catches of lobster, cod, and haddock.
Ferry services connect the island to Blacks Harbour on mainland New Brunswick, with multiple daily crossings carrying vehicles and passengers across the Bay of Fundy.
Dark Harbour on the western coast serves as the primary location for harvesting dulse, an edible seaweed collected from the rocky shores.
