Canada
Halifax
A maritime Atlantic-Canada harbour.
A star-shaped hilltop citadel, a lively waterfront, and the Nova Scotia coast.
Halifax is one of the world's great natural harbours, with the history to match. The star-shaped Citadel commands the hill; the boardwalk runs the working waterfront past the Maritime Museum, which keeps a wrenching Titanic collection, many victims are buried here. Out of town, Peggy's Cove lighthouse stands on wave-scoured granite.
