Mines in #CapeBreton towns like #Donkin, #GlaceBay and #SydneyMines all mined the same huge coalfield (named for #Sydney) which extends from #CapeMorien-#CapeDauphin and 300 kms offshore.

98% of the #Sydney Coalfield is underwater – it extends almost to the south coast of #Newfoundland.
There have been about 100 mines in it and it has produced more #coal than all other #NovaScotia coalfields combined.

The Princess Colliery in #SydneyMines was the first to mine undersea #coal in the #Sydney Coalfield. Its main shaft was near the shore and the workings were entirely under the ocean.
