The Zeno Narrative is a medieval chronicle that tells of an epic voyage undertaken in the year 1398. A man identified as Henry Sinclair, the Earl of Orkney, left his island home north of Scotland and journeyed west to lands unknown. The narrow steep sided harbour described in the story sounds a lot like Guysborough Harbour and the people who greeted him could have been Mi'kmaq.
