This welcome sign has a lobster, as a photo cut out, and has the slogan for the province "The Gentle Island".
Prince Edward Island is located on the east coast of Canada and is connected to the mainland by the Confederation Bridge and regular ferry service. The province is also called 'PEI' or simply 'the Island'. The population of Prince Edward Island is 145,855 and is evenly divided between urban and rural dwellers.
1534 -- Island is "discovered" by Jacques Cartier. He describes it "The finest land 'tis possible to see. Full of fine meadows and trees." Later named Isle St. Jean, it is claimed by France, which generally ignores it for the next two centuries.
