Overview

Excerpt from Report on the Geology and Physical Character of the Nastapoka Islands, Hudson Bay The outer or western shores of the islands are low, with rocky points and outlying reefs separating wide bays with sandy or boulder-strewn shores. A number of small harbours occur along the outer shores, but their entrances are usually obstructed by reefs and the whole of the outer shores are dangerous of approach to large ships, owing to shallow water broken by submerged reefs which extends a considerable distance from this side of the islands. The channels between the islands are usually deep, but they are in places obstructed by reefs. An entrance to the sound with large ships should only be made between the larger and higher islands, as, where the islands are small and low the water between them is gene rally shallow and the bottom lumpy.
