The Lost World of Cape Breton Island Podcast

The Lost World of Cape Breton Island is a Canadian history podcast that uncovers the forgotten stories of 18th-and 19th-century Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. Through primary sources like journals, memoirs and correspondence, we will explore Cape Breton’s history with the help of those who witnessed it firsthand. Listen to the mad ramblings of a Scottish exile as he describes what life was like in the Fortress of Louisbourg, follow the rising career of a French sailor destined to explore the world, and feel the despair as an aristocratic trailblazer struggles to eke out a living on Cape Breton’s unforgiving shores.
