Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
A 20-mile-long sandbar perpetually changing its face, Sable Island is a wind-blasted, fog-enshrouded place haunted by the ghosts of lost mariners. In time, a lifesaving station was established that, too, has since submerged beneath the shifting sand. So a stark, storied panorama awaits skilled photographers, like the Keoughs prove themselves to be in this glossy album of the isle's human relics and living wildlife. Teeming with seals, gulls, and wild horses stranded in the 1750s, Sable supports a stable system of fauna; the Keoughs concentrate on the horses. One might wonder how horses could survive on this lunarlike landscape, and the Keoughs don't avoid harsh scenes of carrion and carcasses. But generally, a spirit of fragile beauty pervades this work, which should attract all who know of this lonely Graveyard of the Atlantic. Gilbert Taylor
