Robert Best was returning to the Channel Islands on the Perry, a ship loaded with salt cod from the port of Gaspé.  </p> <p>They all set sail for different reasons but they all succumbed to a similar fate: their ships were violently thrown off course and ultimately consumed by the sandy beaches and shallow waters of the Magdalen Islands (Les Îles de la Madeleine in French) in Canada’s predominantly French-speaking province of Quebec.</p> <p>Isolated in the middle of the Gulf of St Lawrence, the fishhook-shaped archipelago was an unexpected and dangerous landmass in the way of ships sailing between Europe and Quebec. An estimated 500 to 1,000 vessels fell victim to its whims, mostly in the 18th and 19th Centuries.</p> <p>“Many of them didn’t even know that an island was there,” said coastguard Charles Cormier. “Once, 48 ships sank during a single storm.”</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="sg-slides-item" data-sg-slide data-sg-content-slide data-sg-slide-text-color="white" data-sg-slide-type="text-left" aria-labelledby="slide-info slide-label-2"> <div class="sg-slide sg-slide-text-left sg-slide-white" data-sg-full-height data-sg-info-content> <div class="sg-slide-inline-image " data-sg="inline-image"> <div class="sg-slide-inline-image-wrapper"> <div class="sg-slide-inline-image-responsive-box responsive-box responsive-box--landscape"> <div class="responsive-box__content"> <img data-fixed-width-format="" width="130" height="73" title="Quebec, Magdalen Islands (Credit: Credit: Uladzimir Taukachou)" alt="Quebec, Magdalen Islands (Credit: Credit: Uladzimir Taukachou)" class="responsive-box__content__inner" data-caption="(Credit: Uladzimir Taukachou)" data-caption-title="" data-lazy-load="true" data-src="https://web.archive.org/web/20170810043002/http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/wwfeatures/wm/live/130_73/images/live/p0/53/rw/p053rwrq.jpg" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==" data-landscape/> </div> </div> </div> <div class="caption-wrapper"> <div class="caption-lining"> <p class="caption-text caption-body">(Credit: Uladzimir Taukachou)</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="sg-slide-background-wrapper"> <div class="sg-slide-background sg-slide-background-landscape" data-sg-full-height> <div data-src="https://web.archive.org/web/20170810043002oe_/http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/wwfeatures/wm/live/130_73/images/live/p0/53/rw/p053rwrq.jpg" class="sg-slide-background-image" data-fixed-width-format="" data-lazy-load="true" data-background data-landscape></div> </div> </div> <div class="sg-slide-content-wrap"> <div class="sg-slide-content-wrap-inner" data-sg-full-height> <div class="sg-slide-content sg-slide-sidebar-content" data-sg-slide-text> <div class="sg-slide-inner sg-slide-sidebar-inner"> <div class="sg-slide-inner-lining sg-slide-sidebar-inner-lining"> <h2 class="sg-slide-sidebar-title" id="slide-label-2">An ancestry all on one island</h2> <p>In those days, there were few lighthouses or accurate charts, and heavy winds, fog and rocky waters made navigation a game of guessing and dexterity. As a result, many passengers perished and were buried among the sand dunes. Only the most resilient survived, ultimately forfeiting their intended journeys and building a new life along the islands’ tempestuous shores.</p> <p>Today, many descendants of these survivors, like 32-year-old Nancy Clark, still reside on the islands and find it hard to leave, despite the challenges they face. They are strongly rooted here as part of a tiny English-speaking community, within a French-speaking world, that lives to tell the tales of the generations of islanders that have come before them.</p>

class="sg-slide-sidebar-title" id="slide-label-5">Two communities with two languages</h2> <p>In the mostly French-speaking islands, there are approximately 550 English-speaking residents, descendants of people who came from England, Scotland and Ireland. Many of them were immigrants, while others were passengers on cargo ships who decided to stay after they were shipwrecked. Most settled in three communities: Grosse-Île and Old Harry in the archipelago’s north, and Entry Island (Île-d'Entrée in French), a small island in the south only accessible via ferry. For these residents, their ancestry is tied to the islands, allowing them to retain a strong cultural identity.</p> <p>Many even share the same last name. In Old Harry, most surnames are either Clark or Dunn. In Grosse-Île, one of the most common family names is Clarke instead of Clark, opening a spelling debate. People in Old Harry say that people in Grosse-Île added the ‘e’, while people in Grosse-Île believe people in Old Harry dropped the final vowel.</p> <p>The French- and English-speaking communities preserved their distinct identities throughout the years. Until the 1970s, there was little intermarriage between the two groups, and each community had its own church, Catholic or Protestant, and its own schools.</p> <p>“The English would stay in their community, and the French would stay in their community,” said Winston Clarke, a resident of Grosse-Île. “I’m not saying there was anything hostile. It was difficult to travel between the communities back then; there were no roads in the early 1900s.”</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="sg-slides-item" data-sg-slide data-sg-content-slide data-sg-slide-text-color="white" data-sg-slide-type="text-left" aria-labelledby="slide-info slide-label-6"> <div class="sg-slide sg-slide-text-left sg-slide-white" data-sg-full-height data-sg-info-content> <div class="sg-slide-inline-image " data-sg="inline-image"> <div class="sg-slide-inline-image-wrapper"> <div class="sg-slide-inline-image-responsive-box responsive-box responsive-box--landscape"> <div class="responsive-box__content"> <img data-fixed-width-format="" width="130" height="73" title="Magdalen Islands, Quebec (Credit: Credit: Uladzimir Taukachou)" alt="Magdalen Islands, Quebec (Credit: Credit: Uladzimir Taukachou)" class="responsive-box__content__inner" data-caption="(Credit: Uladzimir Taukachou)" data-caption-title="" data-lazy-load="true" data-src="https://web.archive.org/web/20170810043002/http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/wwfeatures/wm/live/130_73/images/live/p0/53/s6/p053s6p6.jpg" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==" data-landscape/> </div> </div> </div> <div class="caption-wrapper"> <div class="caption-lining"> <p class="caption-text caption-body">(Credit: Uladzimir Taukachou)</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="sg-slide-background-wrapper"> <div class="sg-slide-background sg-slide-background-landscape" data-sg-full-height> <div data-src="https://web.archive.org/web/20170810043002oe_/http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/wwfeatures/wm/live/130_73/images/live/p0/53/s6/p053s6p6.jpg" class="sg-slide-background-image" data-fixed-width-format="" data-lazy-load="true" data-background data-landscape></div> </div> </div> <div class="sg-slide-content-wrap"> <div class="sg-slide-content-wrap-inner" data-sg-full-height> <div class="sg-slide-content sg-slide-sidebar-content" data-sg-slide-text> <div class="sg-slide-inner sg-slide-sidebar-inner"> <div class="sg-slide-inner-lining sg-slide-sidebar-inner-lining"> <h2 class="sg-slide-sidebar-title" id="slide-label-6">Subtle differences in expression</h2> <p class="BodyA">There are a few simple ways to tell the communities apart. For example, in the English areas, the houses are painted in muted shades of white and grey, while the French use bright yellows, greens, blues and even oranges. Clark also notes subtle differences in expression, such as how the Francophones tend to kiss and touch each other, while the Anglophones are a bit more conservative. “We’re more ‘nod your head’ type of people,” Clark said.</p> <p>Despite the Magdalen Islands' distinctive identities, Clark – who works at the local school and develops projects to keep the Anglophone youth from leaving for bigger cities in Canada – sees strength in the commonalities that are present to this day.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="sg-slides-item" data-sg-slide data-sg-content-slide

Some were constructed from shipwreck materials, like the Old Harry home of Rhoda Clark, Nancy Clark’s great-aunt, whose ancestors helped the survivors of the Miracle, which wrecked in May 1847. Rhoda explained how her house is part of island history, handed down through the generations of her family.</p> <p class="BodyA">“My great grandfather Henry Sr Clark put together the old house here out of some shipwrecks, he put [it] together with some wooden pegs in the attic. In 1861, he built it… he walked up the beach and that’s how he built it, piece by piece.”</p> <p>Also in Old Harry, the St-Peters-by-the-Sea church is 100 years old and was also built from shipwreck wood. “We wanted to make sure we kept the building and kept it in the community to make sure it wouldn’t be sold,” Clark said. “So we’ve developed a project that’s also very meaningful to the community.”</p> <p>The church will host a portrait exhibition of islanders who passed away in relation to water during the 20th Century. Clark started collecting photos of the victims because she realised that death by sea affects most families here in one way or another. She has gathered 135 portraits so far; most of them were taken after the 1950s.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="sg-slides-item" data-sg-slide data-sg-content-slide data-sg-slide-text-color="white" data-sg-slide-type="overlay-top-right" aria-labelledby="slide-info slide-label-9"> <div class="sg-slide sg-slide-overlay-top-right sg-slide-white" data-sg-full-height data-sg-info-content> <div class="sg-slide-inline-image " data-sg="inline-image"> <div class="sg-slide-inline-image-wrapper"> <div class="sg-slide-inline-image-responsive-box responsive-box responsive-box--landscape"> <div class="responsive-box__content"> <img data-fixed-width-format="" width="130" height="73" title="Quebec, Magdalen Islands (Credit: Credit: Uladzimir Taukachou)" alt="Quebec, Magdalen Islands (Credit: Credit: Uladzimir Taukachou)" class="responsive-box__content__inner" data-caption="(Credit: Uladzimir Taukachou)" data-caption-title="" data-lazy-load="true" data-src="https://web.archive.org/web/20170810043002/http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/wwfeatures/wm/live/130_73/images/live/p0/53/sq/p053sqn7.jpg" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==" data-landscape/> </div> </div> </div> <div class="caption-wrapper"> <div class="caption-lining"> <p class="caption-text caption-body">(Credit: Uladzimir Taukachou)</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="sg-slide-background-wrapper"> <div class="sg-slide-background sg-slide-background-landscape" data-sg-full-height> <div data-src="https://web.archive.org/web/20170810043002oe_/http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/wwfeatures/wm/live/130_73/images/live/p0/53/sq/p053sqn7.jpg" class="sg-slide-background-image" data-fixed-width-format="" data-lazy-load="true" data-background data-landscape></div> </div> </div> <div class="sg-slide-content-wrap sg-slide-overlay-content-wrap" data-sg-slide-text> <div class="sg-slide-content clearfix" data-sg-slide-contents> <div class="sg-slide-inner sg-slide-overlay-content"> <div class="sg-slide-inner-lining"> <div class="sg-slide-overlay-content-holder" id="slide-label-9"> <blockquote> <p>My passion for shipwrecks started long ago.

According to the University of Québec in Rimouski, 70% of its exterior coasts are at risk of submersion, contributing to a loss of 0.75m every year. Some residents have had to move their houses away from the cliff’s edge in recent years.</p> <p>Nevertheless, much has changed for the good, especially since the 18th and 19th Centuries when there weren’t adequate lighthouses to guide ships to safety, as Captain Edward Boxer (and shipwreck survivor) wrote in 1828:</p> <p>“On this sea, navigation is so dangerous because of strong and irregular currents, and there is not a single lighthouse in all the Gulf. It is truly lamentable to find so many shipwrecks at different places on the coast... the number of lost lives is very large and certainly incalculable…”</p> <p>His and other captains' complaints were finally heard. The first Magdalen Islands lighthouse was built in 1870 on Bird Rock, 32km northeast of Grosse-Île. Today, six lighthouses work together with detailed charts, GPS and other modern navigation methods to make these fragile and beautiful islands a much easier and safer adventure for people sailing near them – and for those who chose to make a life here.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="sg-end-slate" data-sg-slide data-sg-end-slate> <div data-sg-slide-contents
