 Memoirs Of A Lightkeeper's Son

   Click to view larger image : 342k Memoirs Of A Lightkeeper's Son

William (Billy) G. Budge was born in 1948 in the small fishing village of Neil's Harbour on the northern tip of Cape Breton. In 1955 his father accepted the position of lighthouse keeper on St. Paul Island, a rugged and forlorn mountain in the sea. Positioned at the entrance to the Gulf of St. Lawrence between Cape Breton and Newfoundland, this island is subject to violent gales, snowstorms and is often shrouded in fog. Early seafarers called it the "Graveyard of the Gulf" due to the vast numbers of ships and countless lives that were lost along its shores. When Billy moved to St. Paul Island with his parents and younger sister, they lived at the southwest light station in almost total isolation. His family quickly learned to cope in a world without neighbors, electricity, schools, or mainland comforts. Here Billy tells his story of survival on that lonely rock. Softcover, 192 pages.
