Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

  • Scenic waterfront with Canadian flag and skyline

Halifax exists because of its harbor, one of the deepest in the world. First settled by the British in 1749, Halifax is unlike other coastal colonial towns as it did not rely on fishing to sustain itself. Instead, it found its foothold in naval pursuits. It served as a military base for the British after the American Revolution and as Canada’s main wartime port during World War II, when military personnel and foreign nationals transformed the city. Their stories can be seen today at the Museum of Immigration at Pier 21, where they would have first set foot in Halifax.
