The shallow water is caused by a wide underwater plateau covering an extended area of 12,000 square miles 42,000 km . Depths at the cap range from approximately 400 feet 122 m to 2,300 feet 700 m . The FlemishCap is located within an area of transition between the cold waters of the Labrador Current and warmer waters influenced by the North Atlantic Current . The mixing of the warmer and colder waters over the plateau produces the characteristic clockwise circulation current over the cap. The waters of the FlemishCap are deeper and warmer than the Grand Banks . The 58,000 square kilometre area may have served as an important refuge for marine species during the last ice age. ref name EARLY http www.dfo mpo.gc.ca overfishing surpeche media bk grandbanks eng.htm Overfishing and International Fisheries and Oceans Governance Backgrounder The Grand Banks and the FlemishCap . http www.dfo mpo.gc.ca Government of Canada .

Unreferenced date December 2009 Image WorkingAtTheYardarm.jpg thumb right A deckhand standing on both the main footrope and the flemish horse. A flemish horse is a footrope on a square rigged sailing ship that is found at the extreme outer end of the yardarm yard . The main footrope runs along the whole length of the yard, but because of its length the angle upwards to where it is attached is quite shallow, and thus it is too high to stand on for some distance inwards. Sailors on this part of the yard stand on the flemish horse instead, which being shorter hangs down more and hence is low enough to stand on. The flemish horse, being at the outer end of the yard, often made of thinner rope and attached only at its ends, is somewhat unstable compared with the main footrope. This, together with the requirement to step off the main footrope in order to get onto it means that a place on the flemish horse is generally reserved for the more experienced sailors working on a yard. The origin of the term is not clear. There is some evidence that at one time all footropes were known as horses e.g., in German, the footrope is to this day called Fu pferd , i.e. foot horse . It has been suggested that Flemish horses i.e. animals from Flanders in Belgium were regarded as being more unruly than most, and hence the unstable outer horse acquired this name.

After becoming a Mohawk chief in 1650, the Flemish Bastard led a band of Mohawks in an attack on Trois Rivi res , a city in Quebec . He led another attack on 30 August 1656 on a group of Odawa people Ottawas and Wyandot people Huron s at the Lac des Deux Montagnes . When he arrived at Pointe Sainte Croix now Point Platon, New York Point Platon , New York with 40 Mohawks, the Flemish Bastard was preparing for war. A captain in the Carignan Sali res Regiment , M. de Saurel, led 300 men on 24 July 1666 to a battle against the Mohawks in order to avenge the deaths of two of the regiment s officers, Capt. de Traversy and M. de Chazy, as well as the capture of other Frenchman, including M. Canchy de Lerole. Before Saurel reached the Mohawk villages, however, he met the Flemish Bastard heading a peace assembly, who was turning over the French captives. Afterward, Saurel abandoned his original plans and returned to Quebec. On 8 November 1666, the Flemish Bastard was sent back to his homeland with a Mohawk elder. The French told him to return within four moons with captives of the Huron and Algonquin people Algonkin tribes.
