Ocean Tides: Bay of Fundy

Plunge into the rhythmic pulse of nature’s grandest spectacle with Ocean Tides: Bay of Fundy, an awe-inspiring archival film that unveils the world’s highest tides along Canada’s rugged eastern shore. Nestled between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, the Bay of Fundy churns with a tidal dance unlike any other—waters rise and fall up to 53 feet in a mere six hours, a force fueled by the moon’s pull and the bay’s unique funnel shape. The camera sweeps across this marine marvel: at low tide, vast mudflats stretch bare, revealing a seabed teeming with life—crabs scuttle, seabirds peck; then, the sea roars back, swallowing cliffs and piers in a frothy surge, a cycle of 100 billion tons of water twice daily. With vivid footage and crisp narration, the film explores the tides’ might—carving cliffs, birthing tidal bores, whispering secrets of Earth’s ancient rhythm. A mid-20th-century ode to nature’s power, it’s timeless wonder preserved in grainy glory. Archival Moments revives this tidal tale—subscribe to explore more from the oceans of history!
