Day 17 - Tue August 16, 2016

North Sidney, NS (Ferry from  Argentia, NL)

to

Port Hawksberry

KM 

The overnight ferry trip from Argentia back to Nova Scotia was very restful, we had booked cabin and that was a small move as all accommodations were sold out. 

After checking out an abandoned Pine Tree Line Radar site in Sidney, NS

We are going to spend the morning and afternoon at Fortress Louisburg, which was constructed by the French in the mid 1700's 

Entrance 

The central building within the Fort was the "hub" of all activities, this is a pano view.

Lyric Garden

Historic cross which was taken to Harvard, and then returned.  This is the site of the proposed church which was never built, very historic.
