Description

MetaData
title	A Light on the Sandhills
creator	Graham, Allan
subject	Island Magazine
subject	Prince Edward Island Museum
description	The sandhills along much of the Island's coastline have always been a barrier to vessels seeking harbour. Before good roads were built, waterways were often the main means of transport, and many communities were thus heavily dependent upon coastal navigation. South of Cascumpec Bay, the sandhills range for 18 miles. The only passage through them is about midway, an inlet called Hardy's Channel which allows ships to reach Milligan's wharf. In May of 1871, on the recommendation of the influential shipbuilder James Yeo of Port Hill, William Hardy, then 23, began to keep a light there. (It is not clear whether he had a family link with the naming of Hardy's Channel.)
