But to visiting mariners, the Bay of Fundy posed particular challenges for their sea-borne commerce. Shipwrecks became part of the lore of Fundy life. They were usually enormously dramatic events, too often sadly tragic, occasionally even touched with humour.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe strong currents associated with the spring tides are probably the greatest reason for shipwreck in the Bay of Fundy. But shipwreck is seldom attributable to one factor alone. Almost every shipping casualty is the result of a combination of problems working together: fog, incompetence, and, of course, the costly and tragic damages inflicted by the fury of storms. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe lore of shipwreck makes up an important part of the history and heritage of the Fundy region.
