Pier 21

This statue of a Samuel Cunard, a shipping magnate of famous oceanliners. Interestingly enough - his competitor was the same ocean liner that owned the Titanic. Even today - you can go to the local Maritime Musuem to see artifacts from the doomed ocean liner. The very first time I had come to Halifax it was Easter of 1998, I had just flown in from England where I had visited friends from Southhampton. If you know the story - it was from Southhampton that the Titanic left to make its trans-Atlantic voyage. So it was a bit surreal seeing deck chairs and childrens belongings among other artifacts within in days of each other.

Is this where the ocean liners docked?

One of Canada's famous landmarks is Pier 21 in Halifax. (did some googling info on it). Between the years 1928 to 1971, it was the port of Halifax that many of the new immigrants to Canada would see. It was also famous of where the "War Brides" arrived and then near to the port was the VIA Rail station - where they continued to travel to their soliders home. Unfortunately, in Nova Scotia you will find many stores and attractions that are closed on Sundays - Pier 21 was such a case. So the last photo is all I got to see of Pier 21 museum - a poster through the glass doors. Another time.
