| Description |
PLEASE, NO invitations or self promotions, THEY WILL BE DELETED. My photos are FREE to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks. Time to leave and head home for the day (started at 4:35am and ending at 11:40am) . It is about 1 Hour and 15 minutes to get back to my place, I had to cut the grass. The red building is the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic. The museum explains the history of the fishing industry, with artifacts, stories of tragic storms, and an aquarium with many Atlantic species of fish. The history of the Bluenose which was built in Lunenburg is explained. It was a fishing and racing schooner reputed to be the fastest sailing ship of the time is explained. (Bluenose is featured on the Canadian dime). Lunenburg is a port town on the province's South Shore. The town is approximately 90 kilometres southwest of the county boundary with the Halifax Regional Municipality. The town was established four years after Halifax. The town was one of the first British attempts to settle Protestants in Nova Scotia intended to displace Mi'kmaq and Acadian Catholics. Lunenburg was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995. This designation ensures protection for much of Lunenburg's unique architecture and civic design, being the best example of planned British colonial settlement in Canada. The historic core of the town is also a National Historic Site of Canada. |
