Peggy's Cove and Titanic Graves

Start your tour with a brief stop at the Halifax Citadel. This strategic hilltop fort offers a commanding view of Halifax Harbour. The Halifax Town Clock can be seen as you look down towards the Harbour. This is perhaps the second pride of the city after the citadel itself. It has stood over Halifax for over 200 years as a gift from Prince Edward, Duke of Kent. As the Commander-in-Chief of British Forces in North America, he was apparently obsessed with being punctual and thought that Halifax needed help in this regard!

Next, depart the city for a breathtaking coastal drive to the fishing community of Peggy's Cove while learning the facts and history of the province. Arrive at Peggy's Cove, a photographer's paradise of Nova Scotia. Take your own artistic pictures of the famous Peggy's Cove lighthouse. Explore the idyllic fishing village and its amazing rocky shores; visit the gift shops, restaurants, museums, and galleries including the Fisherman's Monument sculpted in granite rock by William E. deGarthe and one of his students over a five-year period.

Then continue to the Fairview Lawn Cemetery, where your guide will walk the grounds with you, bringing to life the tale of the great ship Titanic and its ill-fated maiden voyage. Discover the true identities of the unknown child and J. Dawson, both recovered from the icy waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Their stories are part of a legacy that continues to fascinate visitors more than 100 years later.
