Nova Scotia

Lunenburg
* This a new page currently under construction*
Picture
The Town of Lunenburg, in Nova Scotia, Canada, was formally established in 1753 as the first British Colonial settlement in Nova Scotia outside of Halifax. With its rich history, original street layout and unique architecture, old Lunenburg was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995. The town is crammed with well preserved wooden houses, business premises, churches and public buildings, many of which date from the late 1700s. ​

Wolff House in King Street (above) was home to Augustus Wolff, a native of Prussia and a retired mariner who settled in the town in 1881. He became the first Mayor of Lunenburg in 1888 and was re-elected on two successive occasions in 1895 and 1910.
Above: St John`s Anglican Church. The Jessen Bell (below) hung in the church tower since 1814 and served as the tolling bell for over 185 years. In 2001 a fire caused extensive damage to the building and rendered the bell unusable, however, it has been preserved outside.

Above: Lunenburg Academy on Gallows Hill. This building was opened in November in 1895 and replaced an earlier school destroyed by a fire in 1893. 
One of the best ways to get your bearings is on the horse drawn carriage architectural tour, or you can always walk.
Lunenburg was an important seaport, fishing and shipbuilding centre, particularly famed for its wooden ships, the most famous being the schooner Bluenose which, along with Bluenose II, remains an important tourist attraction.

The town is also famous for Dory building. These are basically small shallow-draught  wooden rowing boats, traditionally used for fishing, which can be fitted with a sailing rig if required.

Below: A waterfront mural.

Fish and other marine creatures dangle from lampposts throughout the town centre.

Along with restaurants and tourist hotels the waterfront is home to the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic. Check out the museum`s own website for further information. 

Several vessels, including Canada`s oldest saltbank schooner Theresa E Connor and steel-hulled trawler Cape Sable, are tied up alongside the wharf and there is also a large aquarium. // Don`t worry - they have real fish in the tanks (and none of them wear specs). These ones feature on a mural outside. // The museum includes various models, related memorabilia and a section on the whaling industry. A scale model of Tern Schooner is shown below.
