SYDNEY : Australia or Canada ?

SYDNEY  :  Australia or Canada ?

    First let me say that I really enjoy reading your site, but

I have to point out a little anomaly.

   You show many vessels as going to or coming from

 Sydney.   I suspect that most readers will assume that

the Sydney referred to is the big city in Australia, but here

in Cape Breton Island in Canada is another Sydney, a busy

seaport.

   So can I ask that, for geographical accuracy, when

Sydney is mentioned that it is shown as being Australia

  or Cape Breton Island in Canada.

   Dale, Cape Breton Island, Canada.

Douglas replies :

   Thanks for your message Dale.   My education has

quite obviously been sadly lacking as I did not know

that there was a Sydney in Canada, but now that I am

aware I will try to look out for any future items and

amend them “geographically accurately” as necessary.

   As an afterthought, do any other readers know of

ports with the same names and which could be confused

with each other ?
