Excerpt from Cape Breton, Canada, at the Beginning of the Twentieth Century: A Treatise of Natural Resources and Development

The coast of the island is of a varied and generally picturesque character. It is indented by bays and inlets, and has a number of excellent harbors, of which the most important are those of Sydney and Louisburg. The inlets are on the north, Bay St. Lawrence; on the northeast, Aspy Bay, Neil's Harbor, North and South Bay, Ingonish, St. Ann's Bay, the Great and Little Entrances of the Bras d'or Lakes, Sydney Harbor, Lingan Bay, Little Glace Bay, Cow Bay, Mira Bay; on the southeast, Louisburg Harbor, Gabarus Bay, Fourchu Bay, St. Peter's 'bay, Rocky Bay and Lennox Passage. On the northwest the inlets are small, and generally of little practical value. The chief are Port Hood Harbor, the mouth of the Mabou River, Broad Cove, the mouth of the Margaree River, and Cheticamp Harbor.
