St. Andrews by the Sea was one of the places that the Loyalists arrived at in 1783.  Lesser known and talked about than Saint John, it was still an important port on the Bay of Fundy.  And then later in the 1830s it was one of four arrival ports for the Irish emigrants.  This podcast takes a brief look at the Loyalists that arrived there and the Irish that followed.  The NB Traveler shares this not as a seasoned historian, but rather as one that is curious about the dynamics that formed the New Brunswick culture.  If you have comments or would like to come on the NB Traveler podcast and share more insights about NB Loyalists and the Irish, just contact me. Below are links to sources that I have read for this podcast.
