WILLIAM SCOTT: THE MARINER OF MINASVILLE
As a youth, William Scott from Minasville fought in the American Civil War. He returned home, earned his Captain's papers and proceeded to travel the world. He said around Cape Horn 25 times and around the world once. He spent his retirement on Minasville shores entertaining grandchildren with tales from ocean voyages and the poetry of Robbie Burns. A documentary on his life produced by the Heroes of Hants County Association was shown at the Atlantic Film Festival in 2005.

REVIEWS:
"Reviewing The Mariner of Minasville in its entirety will leave the viewer quietly amazed at the level of emotion produced by the fusion of historic photographs, music and narrative. The harmonious flow of fading frames combined with the voiceover leading into each makes the viewer feel as though he or she is watching a motion film without losing authenticity in the translation of reenactments.
Skillfully narrated by [David Evan] Murray, the viewer becomes absorbed in the emotion of the event in Captain Scott's life and connects with the imagery of Hants County. Those having stood on the same places will be chilled by the ease at which one's mind will go back in time to a stormy day in December on the windy shores of the Cobequid Bay."
