Shelburne was the site of the Empire Loyalist Landing, the emigration in 1783 of 10,000 refugees from the American Revolution. The charming Historic Waterfront District features the most significant built wooden heritage in Canada and rivals any area of North America for its density of original 18th Century wooden buildings.
not all pictures are of boats, water and rocks … hey daughter Lily … I can post something interesting .. right ???
these beauties were watching everyone passing on the sidewalk
today was the Farmers Market .. we got yellow beans, parsley, green onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, and berries
one of the historic buildings
a monument to the "lost at sea" sailors … back as far as 1876 … it was hard to read this, in July 1927, about 20 sailors lost .. and 8 had the same last name ….
before we started this adventure we heard of a cruising guide of N.S. .. we contacted Peter Loveridge and got his CD, on the Crusing Guide to Nova Scotia … we took it to Staples and had it printed and spiral bound, it is 1 1/2 inches thick … we have been using it for the past 2 years as one of our guides … and to our surprise he is in this marina, and only a few boats away … we just had to tell him and his lovely wife how their hard work, year after year has helped us navigate Nova Scotia
deflating the dinghy to pack on the deck, for an early departure tomorrow, around the tip of Nova Scotia, and heading to Yarmouth and the Bay of Fundy ….. lets hope it is a Fun Day for us
… to be continued
