Cabot Strait

Cabot Strait is a wide Canadian strait between Newfoundland Island and Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. It is one of two outlets of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, the other being the Straits of Belle Isle. It is named for the Genovese explorer Giovanni Caboto.

The strait is crossed by a ferry service linking Channel-Port aux Basques, Newfoundland and Labrador[?], and Sydney, Nova Scotia.
