Editing Sable Island (section)

===In fiction===
The island has also inspired works of fiction beginning in 1802 when Nova Scotia author [[Thomas Chandler Haliburton]] published "The Sable Island Ghost", a story about a ghostly woman inspired by the loss of the brig ''Francis'' in 1798. His story helped raise support for the establishment of a rescue station on the island.<ref>{{cite book|last=McNeil|first=Gail Anne|chapter=Sable Island, the Graveyard of the Atlantic|editor-last=Cranston|editor-first=Tony|title=Disasters at Sea|date=1986|page=119}}</ref> Canadian writer [[James Macdonald Oxley]] wrote a youth novel ''The Wreckers of Sable Island'' in 1897.
