St. George's Bay〔(Geographical Names of Canada - St. George's Bay )〕 is a bay in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia. It is located on the north shore of the province fronting both the Nova Scotia peninsula and Cape Breton Island, thus comprising a sub-basin of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The bay measures approximately wide at its mouth, between Cape George in the west, and Black Point in the east. Its western shore measures approximately in length from the northern tip of Cape George south to the entrance to Antigonish Harbour. Its southern shore measures approximately in length from the entrance to Antigonish Harbour through to the Strait of Canso at East Havre Boucher. The eastern shore measures approximately from Heffernan Point north to Black Point. St. George's Bay marks the northern end of the Strait of Canso, one of three outlets for the Gulf of St. Lawrence. It is a busy coastal shipping route on account of the Canso Canal; the Canadian Coast Guard maintains a Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) for the bay called "Canso Traffic" with separation schemes defining sea lanes on nautical charts. ==Islands== Islands within the bay include from northeast to south to northwest: *Port Hood Island *Henry Island * within Havre Boucher * * Ile du Havre * * Crispos Island *La Batture * within Linwood Harbour * *Big Island * *Little Island * within Tracadie Harbour * * Tracadie Big Island (barrier island) * * Flat Island * * Isaacs Island * * Perros Island * * Grahams Island * * Myettes Island * * McCalls Island * * Petitpas Island * Pomquet Island * within Pomquet Harbour * * Ile a Magotte * * Pomquet Harbour Island * within Monks Head Harbour * * Morrell Island * within Antigonish Harbour * * Captains Island * * Gooseberry Island * * Harris Island * * Black Island * * Long Island * * Sheep Island * * Fallis Island * * Reef Island * * Blueberry Island 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「St. George's Bay (Nova Scotia)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
