Prince Edward Island

The province’s earliest documented name was “Abeqweit” which was given to the area by the Mi’kmaq and meant “cradled in the waves”. It later became Ile Saint-Jean which was used by the original French settlers, the Acadians. After the Treaty of Paris ceded the island to the British in 1763, it was renamed St. John’s Island. In 1799 the English declared that the island would be called Prince Edward Island in honour of the Duke of Kent and Strathearn, Prince Edward.

Lovely, Pat. Thank you. Love these little lighthouses. I posted a full sized lighthouse at North Point and the House of Green Gables. I just now put a link to your puzzle on each of them.

My pictures from PEI are posted on ringleader2.
