These headlands on Grand Manan Island were named Ashburton Head after a ship called the Lord Ashburton was wrecked in a nor'easter in January of 1857. In all, 21 of the 28 crew were killed when the ship broke up. The seven survivors that made it to shore were found the next morning and were nursed back to health by local farmers and villagers.
