A fine travel doc that has really captured the culture and vibe of the Canadian side (+Dark Island) through these individual stories. Sadly, Ian Coristine died 15 Feb 2020 but his superb photography has defined the visual history of the 1000 Islands for the past 25 years. His aerial view of the Admiralty Group (of islands) where the featured 19th century cottage is located and which fronts the Town of Gananoque is the subject of one of the latest series of Canadian stamps and postal cards issued less than 3 weeks ago (6 May 2024). It would be good to see a companion doc featuring the mirror image American side to contrast and complete the story.

Every summer when I was growing up in Pennsylvania, we would go up to the thousand islands and my parents friend had a nice big boat and we would all go out on their boat and go to see all of the little islands and I remember there was an island that had a rope swing, but it was an uninhabited island. We had so much fun up there. I have so many great memories growing up vacationing in the thousand islands.

An interesting tour of a part of Canada that reminds me of how little of that country I had the opportunity to visit while living mainly in the Maritimes from 1961-1973; beautiful 1000 Island homes that appeared to be vacant.
