Hi Bill, The lake is connected to the North Atlantic by two natural channels; the Great and Little Bras d'Or Channels which pass on either side of Boularderie Island. The great Bras d'Or is large enough for ocean going ships such as smaller Cruise Ships and for bulk (gypsum) freighters. The southern tip of the lake is connected to the Atlantic Ocean via the St. Peters Canal, two locks and a swing bridge to get in, first built for shipping traffic in the 1860s.
