“Maritime Penitentiary Well Managed,” Moncton Daily Times. January 20, 1933. Page 5. ---- Rev. Neil Herman Refers to the Recent Riot and Conditions He Found in the Prison ---- Sackville, N. B., Jan. 19 - Speaking before a crowded congregation last evening in the Main St. Baptist Church, Rev. Neil Herman, of Halifax, during his sermon made the following remarks regarding the recent outbreak in the Mari time Penitentiary at Dorchester. 

"The recent riots in our Canadian penitentiaries create opportunities for all sorts of rumors and give rise to nearly any kind of a criticism from those who have been hard hit by the avenging sword of the law. 

The vials of wrath are poured upon the wardens and the other officers in charge of our prisons. The wardens always become the target as the captain of a crew of mutineers becomes the hated and maligned object of every sailor in Irons.

Within the last two and a half years I have held two missions in Dorchester Penitentiary. I have been in every corner and crevice of that prison in Dorchester, I have examined the food. I have eaten part of the prison fare. If the food in Dorchester Penitentiary is not fresh, well cooked and wholesome, then my sense of taste must be ridiculously below the standard of ordinary mortals -and so far, I have never been judged either abnormal or subnormal. 

If there is a man, who is an eligible judge of sanitation, and, who will take the time to carefully examine the Maritime Penitentiary, and if he can find, in any part of that institution, anything: that can be construed as "filth," he is the first man that I have met who ever ventured such at criticism. The first impression you receive at the penitentiary is that of cleanliness from top to bottom. 

Talk about wardens and deputy wardens! If you can produce a superior type of man and officer than that found in Warden G. T. Goad. you can't find him in Canada. You don't need to scour the country for evidence along that line. You can get your witnesses from the inside and that is the side that doesn't lie. 

As for Deputy Cummings, he speaks for himself. His brains, in the riot proves his head, and his long record. without a black mark. proves his heart. 

As for the other officers - if they were not fit, they wouldn't last twenty-four hours under disciplinarians like Warden Goad and Deputy Warden Cummings. It is an easy matter for the ordinary layman looking on, to say how the job should be done, It is like some fellows thinking they can preach. It is natural for the fellow who is "pinhed" to hurl his curses and his lead pipes at the men in charge of prison walls) and iron bars. In these days of Insurrection and riot we don't want to bite the hand of the law; if we do, the day is not far distant when the hand of bloody revolution will smite us to the dust."

TITLE: Sanctify My Body (With Pain) SUMMARY: When Remus leaves for what is essentially a suicide mission, Sirius finds himself grappling with the realities of a life where he doesn't know if the love of his life is dead or alive.

Perhaps the most confusing question in these situations is: which is worse?

TITLE: Siren songs SUMMARY: Sirius had heard of mermaids before, of course. They were all over the songs bards performed at his parents' table and the tall tales sailors traded in every port. He had never given much thought to whether or not the stories were true, though. Imagine his surprise when he and his best mates found themselves shipwrecked on an unfamiliar shore, with a breathtaking and mysterious merman for their only ally.

TITLE: Sweet Nuthin’ SUMMARY: When the summer between third and fourth year begins, Sirius expects it to be nothing but lazy days, harmless pranks with James, and the occasional meet-up with the rest of his friends from Hogwarts. Those plans go out the window rather quickly when he gets a sudden glimpse of Remus Lupin, a mysterious boy who changes everything about Sirius Black's life and shows him that love will always win in the end.

TITLE: Teddy’s Wedding SUMMARY: Teddy's wedding brings about memories of the past and hopes for the future.

TITLE: That Iron Taste SUMMARY: In the middle of a particularly bitter winter, a new attendee starts showing up in Father Black’s congregation. He is entirely unfamiliar and wholly arresting. In his wake there will be confusion, horror, heat, bliss, blood, and perhaps the end of reality itself.

“... Yes.”

Or; Remus Lupin forgets to turn the fucking camera on.

TITLE: The King I Could Become SUMMARY: Prince Sirius of Nox has one thing he cannot stand. Or rather it should be said, one person. Prince Remus of Lupos. They had never gotten along well, though their kingdoms are close allies, but a disturbance in the lands has brought them together on a quest. They'll be able to take down this threat...if they can survive each other's presence first.

TITLE: The New Sailing Master SUMMARY: Sirius is a pirate, Remus is a fugitive, Remus manages to get a lift aboard the Blithering Idiot and it's love at first sight…

TITLE: Things We Can’t Say SUMMARY: Prompt 18: Angst during the first war, based on being on opposite sides. Trying to convince them to join the light side maybe, or accidentally injuring each other or close friends of each other.

TITLE: Thoroughly Debauched SUMMARY: Prompt: Remus riding Sirius in a chair

TITLE: To Admit What Is Not More Illegal SUMMARY: On Valentine’s Day in their seventh year at Hogwarts, Sirius tries to offer what Remus needs, and starts figuring out if he's ashamed of something, and if he is, what it is.

TITLE: You Would Be Calling Me Moony SUMMARY: A month after Sirius falls through the Veil, Remus starts seeing Sirius in his dreams. But they're only dreams...right?

Virginia Woolf in Orlando: " the shapely legs" "implied a pair of the finest legs that a young nobleman has ever stood upright upon" "when she saw his legs she laughed out loud. He was the very image of a noble gentleman." "And then she praised him; for his love of beasts; for his gallantry; for his legs." "That he had a pair of the shapliest legs that any Nobleman has ever stood upright upon has already been said." "‘Twas a thousand pities, that amorous lady sighed, that such a pair of legs should leave the country." "Yet her legs were among her chiefest beauties" "Stretching her arms out (arms, she had learnt already, have no such fatal effects as legs)" " But it was interesting, amazingly, she thought, stretching her legs out to her log fire (for no sailor was present)" " the symmetry of their lordship’s legs"

One day I was so in the zone with Vita, the road was so smooth and the wind so kind that I cycled two hundred and seventy kilometres in a day.

Сэйлорс-Снаг Харбор (Sailors' Snug Harbor)

Сейлорс-Снаг Харбор, известный как Культурный Центр и Ботанический Сад Снаг Харбор (Snug Harbor Cultural Center and Botanical Garden) или просто Снаг Харбор (Snug Harbor) — коллекция архитектурно ценных зданий XIX в. В парке, расположенном неподалеку от Килл-Ван-Кулл (the Kill Van Kull) на северном берегу Стейтен-Айленд в Нью-Йорк Сити.

Когда-то он был домом престарелых для моряков. Сейчас здесь находится городской парк площадью 340 000 м2. Часть зданий и территорий используется художественными организациями под предводительством Культурного Центра и Ботанического Сада Снаг-Харбор. Сейлорс-Снаг Харбор включает 26 зданий в стиле греческого возрождения, а также итальянского и викторианского стилей. Место считается ценным для Стейтн-Аленда и напоминанием о морском прошлом Нью-Йорка XIX в.

История

Снаг Харбор был основан к 1801 г. по завещанию нью-йоркского капитана Роберта Ричарда Ренделла, в честь которого назван близлежащий район Ренделл-Мейнор (Randall Manor). Ренделл оставил свой участок земли на территории между Пятой Авеню и Бродвеем и Восьмой и Десятой Улицами, чтобы построить заведение, где бы заботились о «престарелых, ушедших на пенсию» моряках. Открытие дома для моряков было отложено из-за споров между обездоленными наследниками Ренделла. Когда Сейлорс-Санг Харбор открылся в 1833 г., он стал первым заведением для ушедших на пенсию моряков в истории США. Сначала существовало одно-единственное здание, сейчас оно находится в центре из пяти сооружений в стиле эпохи греческого возрождения, внешне напоминающих храм и возвышающихся над набережной Нью-Брайтон (New Brighton waterfront).

Капитан Томас Мелвилль, ушедший на отдых морской капитан и брат Германа Мелвилля, автора книги Моби-Дик (Moby-Dick), управлял Снаг Харбор в 1867-1884 гг.

В 1890 г. Капитан Густавус Траск, директор Снаг Харбор, построил церковь в стиле эпохи Возрождения, Мемориальную Часов��ю Ренделла (the Randall Memorial Chapel) и, наконец, музыкальный холл, оба выполнены по проекту Роберта В. Гибсона.

Около 1 000 ушедших на покой моряков жили в Снаг Харбор в период его расцвета в конце XIX в., когда сама организация входила в список самых богатых в Нью-Йорке. По оценкам Вашингтон-Сквер (Washington Square) ежегодные расходы на содержание дома составляли около 100,000 $.

В середине XX века Снаг Харбор начал испытывать серьезные финансовые трудности. В 1952 году массивная структура, Мемориальная Церковь Ренделла (Randall Memorial Church) из белого мрамора, пришла в упадок и была разрушена. С появлением системы Социальной Безопасности в 1930-х гг. были изменены требования для содержания пожилых людей; к середина 1950-х гг. здесь оставалось не более 200 человек. К началу 1960-х гг. приют, был перемещен в Си-Левел (Sea Level) в штате Северная Каролина.

К 1960-м гг. это место площадью в 336,000 м² приглянулось землевладельцам, выступавшим за сохранение имущества. Недавно сформированная Комиссия Достопримечательностей Нью-Йорк Сити (New York City Landmarks Commission) сделала шаг на встречу, пообещав сохранить оставшиеся здания, признав историческую ценность и добавив их в Национальную Регистрационную Книгу Исторических Мест (National Register of Historic Places). В последствие прошло несколько судебных споров, однако, в конце концов, историческая ценность была подтверждена вновь, и Снаг Харбор получил статус Национального Исторического Объекта в 1965 г.

12 сентября 1976 г. Культурный Центр Снаг Харбор был официально открыт для публики. В 2008 г. Культурный Центр Снаг Харбор и Ботанический Сад Стейтен-Айленд (Staten Island Botanical Garden) объединились в Культурный Центр и Ботанический Сад Снаг Харбор.

Архитектура

Пять сообщающихся зданий в стиле эпохи греческого возрождения считаются «самым амбициозным образцом классического возрождения в США» и «самым экстраординарным» комплексом греческого храма в стране. Здание С (Building C) 1833 г. является центром композиции, пять сооружений в стиле греческого возрождения, «формируют симметричную композицию на Террасе Ричмонда (Richmond Terrace), восьми колонный портик в центре и два шести колонных портика в каждом конце».

Административное здание 1833г., выполненное ��инардом Лейфевером – «прекрасное» здание в стиле эпохи греческого возрождения с монументальным портиком в ионическом стиле, являющееся самой старой из сохранившихся работ архитектора. Оно было реконструировано впервые в 1884 г., обзаведясь «трехэтажной галереей раскрашенного стекла», и повторно уже в 1990-х гг.

Все пять знаменитых рядов сооружений в стиле эпохи греческого возрождения индивидуально зарегистрированы, так же как и 131-летняя часовня, которая была реконструирована как учебный и концертный зал; дом у входа в Итальянскую Террасу Ричмонда (the Italinate Richmond Terrace gate house, 1873г.) обнесен железным забором XIX в., скрывающим от взора все прилежащие сооружения, а также Здание С и часовню.Сооружения расположены на ландшафтной территории и окружены специально разработанным железным забором XIX в. Неподалеку находится «красивый» цинковый фонтан 1893 г., изображающий бога Нептуна, и не так давно замененный копией. Согласно Нью-Йорк Таймс «Он расположен в центре, на ракушке, поддерживаемый морскими монстрами и с поднятым трезубцем. Струи воды бьют из центра фонтана и из металлических букетов с коралловыми лилиями.

Культурный Центр и Ботанический Сад Снаг Харбор

Культурный Центр Снаг Харбор (Snug Harbor Cultural Center) и Ботанический Сад Стейтен-Айленд (Staten Island Botanical Garden) являются некоммерческой организацией, обслуживающей Сейлорс-Снаг Харбор. Их первоочередная цель «работа, управление и развитие помещений, известных как Сейлорс-Снаг Харбор в качестве культурного и образовательного центра и парка». В 2005 г. он попал в список 406 художественных нью-йоркских и культурных институтов, получивших часть 20-миллионого $ гранта от Корпорации Карнеги при поддержке мэра Нью-Йорка Майкла Блумберга. В 2006 г. доходы и расходы бесприбыльной организации составили около 3,7 миллионов $, а активы на конец года – около 2,6 миллиона $. Он является резиденцией для Ассоциации Детского Театра Стейтен-Айленда (the Staten Island Children's Theater Association, SICTA), которому первоначально покровительствовали такие актеры, как Нолан ДеБауэр. Также здесь располагается Музыкальная Консерватория Стейтен-Айленд (Staten Island Conservatory of Music).

Ботанический Сад Стейтен-Айленд (Staten Island Botanical Garden)

Ботанический Сад Стейтен-Айленд содержит такие пространные сады, как Белый Сад (The White Garden), разбитый по образцу знаменитого сада Вита Саквиль-Уэст (Vita Sackville-West) в Сиссингхерсте; Секретный Сад Конни-Гретц (Connie Gretz’s Secret Garden) с замком, церковью и окруженным стенами потаенным садом; и Китайский Школьный Сад Нью-Йорка (The New York Chinese Scholar's Garden), самый настоящийкитайский сад в стиле знаменитых садов Сужоу (Suzhou).

Fresh from refit, HMCS Sackville helps commemorate navy's contributions to D-Day

Flying the same flag it would have 75 years ago, HMCS Sackville finished her refit just in time to welcome three special guests in Halifax on Wednesday.

Three D-Day veterans who there when 14,000 Canadians stormed Juno Beach on June 6, 1944, were on hand to see the ship representing the Royal Canadian Navy's contribution to the Battle of Normandy.

“When they see Sackville, she will look just like those 19 corvettes that were off those beaches all those years ago,” said Doug Thomas, the Canadian Naval Memorial Trust executive director.

Wendall Brown, the Canadian Naval Memorial Trust board chair, said there were 11,000 Canadian sailors involved in Operation Overlord, the code name for the Normandy invasion, and Canada lost four ships to enemy attack.  

Seeing the vessel brings back memories for these D-Day veterans.

Ninety-four-year-old Fred Turnbull was a bowman in the Royal Canadian Navy, meaning he was first off the landing crafts on the beaches that morning.

“It was all part of the big operation and this is the last of the corvettes,” said Turnbull, who was a Leading Seaman in the navy.“It's quite an honour.”

Ninety-seven-year-old Newfoundland naval veteran Charlie Starkes was in an aircraft carrier,

“Nearly all the boys died that I knew, they're all dead now, there aren't too many survivors,” Starkes said.

“This will be the last big event for them, as they're all ninety-three and more,” said Bill Gard, a Canadian Naval Memorial Trust member.“It was just very special, and very privileged to be there with them.”

There's still some refurbishment work to be done on HMCS Sackville, so Thursday it will return to the dockyard for that work, and then will come back to the Halifax waterfront to be open to the public by the end of this month.

Having HMCS Sackville here for these veterans is a moment to remember. It’s a symbol of the sacrifices of wartime that will remain long after those who were there are gone.

Nickname: Dryope, Dry thanks to using it as my online handle forever. Considering a switch  though since I’ve drifted away from the places I used it and want a ~change~

Reason for url: LOOK I chose this as a handle for AIM and things back in like high school, because I like Elves and I like greek mythology

Star sign: Aquarius

Sexual Orientation: short answer is straight, long answer is somewhere on the ace spectrum.

I’ve had “omg I want to stare at you forever and bask in your glorious presence and you’re SO BEAUTIFUL omg and you’re so smartTALK TO ME but don’t touch me I hate being touched” crushes on people of all genders but I’m not entirely sure to what extent that should count towards sexuality so, and I’m monogamous and married so. Straight. 

Hogwarts House: Hufflepuff. Every Hogwarts house test I’ve taken has said so, as has Pottermore.

Ilvermorny House: Horned Serpent according to Pottermore. I had to log in again because I forgot lololol. I mostly ignore the Ilvermorny thing though because I WANTED to like it but....look nobody needs me to go over the appropriation controversy again right?

Favorite color: PASTEL PINK. followed by mint green, forest green, moss green, and basically anything that evokes autumnal forests, and ivory

Cats or dogs: cats. I like dogs fine as long as they belong to other people, because they require too much work. 

Favorite fictional characters: Finn from TFA, Luthien, Sailor Moon, Sailor Neptune, Gorlim the Unhappy, Danny from Dumbing of Age, Rosie Cotton, Lobelia Sackville-Baggins, Sayaka Miki, Elwing, Aradhel, Merel, Polgara, C’nedra, Verin Sedai, eight million ADORABLE PERKY HEROINES from various shoujo manga :P Umi Ryuuzaki, Goldberry, Frodo, lots of friend’s OCs but special shout outs to Sean Neville, Tinurendis, Cobalt Weaver, Heidi Washburn, and basically every member of  Vinyalondë I’ve interacted with. 

Favorite Musical Artist: I’m going to do something DIFFERENT this time and list LABELS. lmao. Polyvinyl, Sub Pop, Arts and Crafts, Sarah, Moon Ska, Time Bomb, Polydor, Elefant

Dream trip: omg I would love to go to Japan again and maybe see Kyoto? And I wanna see Ireland and Scotland and Wales.

When this blog was created: uhhh lmao I don’t remember and I’m too lazy to look right now

Number of followers: 107

When did this blog reach its peak: lmao I’m too tiny to have reached a peak!

[newyorktheater]

Vanessa Redgrave, the “Greatest Actress of Our Time,” according to playwrights Tennessee Williams and Arthur Miller — also the daughter, the sister, the mother and the romantic partner of great actors — did not make her Broadway debut until the age of 49. This was “a sadly belated Broadway debut,” as Times critic Clive Barnes put it in his review of Ibsen’s The Lady of the Sea in 1976, raving about Redgrave as “a child of nature, a fact of life, a sensuously pagan spirit and quite conceivably the most purely beautiful actress on the English‐speaking stage.”

Vanessa Redgrave as the dancer Isidora Duncan in “Isidora”

Redgrave as a concentration camp inmate in Playing For Time

Americans might know her better for her screen roles — her Oscar-winning performance in “Julia” (1977) or Emmy winner for “Playing for Time” (1980),  and the five other movies for which she was nominated for an Oscar: Morgan (1967), Isadora (1969), Mary Queen of Scots (1972), The Bostonians (1985) Howards End (1993.) But she sees herself as a stage actress.

“I think the theater is as essential to civilization as safe, pure water.”

“Theater helps people keep sane.”

  The Lady from the Sea, 1976

In Henrik Ibsen’s 1889 play, the wife of a doctor moves to a small Norwegian town in the mountains, away from the seaside fjord where she grew up. When her former fiancé, a sailor, returns after a long absence, she is forced to choose between her former and her present life.

Orpheus Descending, 1989

Actors Kevin Anderson & Vanessa Redgrave in a scene fr. the Broadway production of the play “Orpheus Descending.”

Actress Vanessa Redgrave in a scene fr. the Broadway production of the play “Orpheus Descending.”

In this play by Tennessee Williams, a Sicilian immigrant’s daughter, unhappily running a dry-goods store in the South and tending to her dying husband, is reawakened by a mysterious drifter who appears in town.

  Not About Nightingales, 1999

Redgrave was not a performer in this Tennessee Williams play, but one of its producers, along with her brother Corin Redgrave, who did star in it.

  Long Day’s Journey Into Night, 2003

Redgrave won a Tony in her role as Mary Tyrone, the mother addicted to morphine in this revival of Eugene O’Neill’s posthumously produced tragedy based on his own family. The stellar cast included Brian Dennehy and Philip Seymour Hoffman (now both deceased) and Robert Sean Leonard. (Scroll to the bottom to read a personal reminiscence from Dennehy)

  The Year of Magical Thinking, 2007

Redgrave was nominated for a Tony in this solo play adapted from Joan Didion’s best-selling 2005 memoir about her shock, denial and ultimate acceptance following her husband’s heart attack and the serious illness of her daughter.

Driving Miss Daisy, 2010

Redgrave was again nominated for a Tony for portraying a Southern Jewish widow opposite James Earl Jones as her Black chauffeur in this first Broadway production of Alfred Uhry’s 1988 Pulitzer Prize winning play. Here’s a feature that includes a snippet of her performance when the production was in London

Off Broadway

Vanessa Redgrave has also performed in three plays Off-Broadway

Vita and Virginia, 1994

Redgrave portrayed the British writer Vita Sackville-West opposite Eileen Atkins’ Virginia Woolf in this play by Atkins that dramatizes a selection of letters between the two. Redgrave won an Obie for her performance.

Antony and Cleopatra, 1997

Redgrave directed and starred in Shakespeare’s play at the Public Theater opposite David Harewood.

The Revisionist, 2013

Redgrave professed herself “immensely excited” to co-star opposite Jesse Eisenberg’s in this 2013 play, the younger actor’s sophomore effort as a playwright. She portrays a distant Polish relative whom Eisenberg, as a callow young writer, is visiting. She spoke with both a heavy Polish accent and more than a few lines of dialogue in Polish.

  The Inheritance, 2018

At the age of 81, Redgrave portrayed a frail mother who belatedly learned to love her gay son, who died of AIDS. She did this in London. When Matthew Lopez’s play moved to Broadway the following year, she bowed out. (Lois Smith, 88, was cast.)

“I hope we see Redgrave at least one more time here,” Michael Riedel wrote shortly after the news broke. “She was rhapsodic as Vita Sackville-West in “Vita and Virginia” in 1994. She held audiences rapt as Joan Didion in “The Year of Magical Thinking” in 2007. And she broke our hearts as Mary Tyrone in the 2003 revival of “Long Day’s Journey Into Night.”

“Brian Dennehy, who played James Tyrone in that production, has a great story about Redgrave. He had done the play in Chicago and thought the Broadway run would be fairly easygoing. After all, he knew the lines, the role and the play. But at the first table reading with Redgrave, he told me, “She was doing so many astonishing things, I realized I had to throw out everything I thought I knew and start all over again.”

“Sometimes she’d make her first entrance from the porch, sometimes from the dark at the top of the stairs. Dennehy and co-stars Robert Sean Leonard and Philip Seymour Hoffman were never sure what she was going to be like each night — which made the production all that much more brilliant, since the Tyrones never know what to expect from Mary, a morphine addict.”

V is for Vanessa Redgrave. Her Broadway career in photos. Vanessa Redgrave, the “Greatest Actress of Our Time,” according to playwrights Tennessee Williams and Arthur Miller -- also the daughter, the sister, the mother and the romantic partner of great actors -- did not make her Broadway debut until the age of 49.

Just about now you may be thinking of where to go for your summer vacation. If an east coast holiday is in your future, I have put together my second annual list of favourite places I visited. I hope you enjoy them. (see here for  Top 20 Maritime Outdoor Escapes 2017  edition).

20. Bouctouche, New Brunswick.

Just 30 minutes south of Kouchibouquac National Park and and 45 minutes north of Moncton.  If you are doing the Acadia Coast Drive make sure to check out Bouctouche.  Here the Irving Eco-Center boasts great bird-watching and wildlife.  Meander along the boardwalk perched above the sand dunes and watch great blue herons wade in the shallows. Bring a lawn chair and towel – the beach is great too.

  View from the tower. Irving Eco Center, Bouctouche New Brunswick

19. Port Hastings, Nova Scotia, 

Should be your first stop on Cape Breton Island. Not only was the Canso Causeway an engineering wonder of its day, the view to Porcupine Mountain is amazing. Watch the boats pass through the canal between the Strait of Canso and the Northumberland Strait. You can walk out on the rocky point of land and take a photo at marker zero of the Ceilidh Coastal Trail. With a little luck you may see whales, seals, eagles and gulls congregate to feast on what the churning waters serve up.  Please see Cape Breton- Rediscovered Part 1 and  Cape Breton- Part 2-A Tourist at Home for further reading on the area.

18. Saint John, New Brunswick.

What’s not to love about Saint John? It’s geologically fascinating, historically important, has a trendy nightlife, lots for food lovers to take in and one of the hottest cruise ship ports around. Make sure to check out the City Market, Reversing Falls, Rockwood and Irving nature parks.  for further reading:

17. Miramichi, New Brunswick

Miramichi makes it to my list for the second year in a row. I can’t get enough of the beautiful scenery.  Kouchibouquac National Park is 20 minutes south for camping and exploring. Hike in the French Fort Cove, catch a boat tour on the Miramichi River from Ritchie Wharf.  Learn about the hardships and courage of the Acadian people during the expulsion at Wilson’s Point and Beaubears Island national historic sites. Some of the best salmon fishing there is. Also a stop on the Via Rail train heading both westward and east towards Moncton and Halifax. Further reading. The Miramichi River Route, as I would do it.

16. Heartland, New Brunswick 

I came here for two things; the world’s longest covered bridge and The Covered Bridge Potato chip factory. Enjoy both while you are visiting. Please read Bridges To Cross, 2017 New Brunswick

  Hartland Covered Bridge The world’s longest covered bridge

15. St Peters, Cape Breton, NS.

An epic bucket list “must do” for sailors is to traverse the locks of the canal – within minutes you are transported from the Atlantic Ocean to Bras d’Or Lake.  The area was home to the Mi’kmaq people for thousands of years before the first European settlers came in the late 1580’s.  There is usually a ceilidh or festival going on somewhere. Nearby Point Michaud beach is excellent.  Further posts Cape Breton- Part 3. Mowat and St Peters.

14. Sackville, New Brunswick

This is bird-watching paradise. Land that was drained for farming by the early Acadian settlers has been reclaimed and is now  home to a waterfowl park.  The surrounding trail conjoins with the trans-Canada trail, so if you choose to you can walk or cycle all the way to Cape Jourmaine. Two national historic sites, several provincial historic sites, home to Mount Alison University and its fantastic library. There are dozens of artisans and craftspeople, it is a cultural playground. For further reading; Searching around Sackville, New Brunswick Part 1

Sackville, New Brunswick waterfowl park and so much more

13. Tignish, Nova Scotia

I came here to see Tignish Dock Provincial Park. Henry Ketchum had an ambitious idea to create a rail line and lifting bridge across the Chignecto isthmus from Fort Lawrence on the Bay of Fundy, to Tignish on the Northumberland shore. The ill-fated historic Chignecto Marine Transport Railway ran out of money before it was completed and was scrapped and dismantled to pay creditors. The provincial park pays tribute to its legacy.  It has a picnic area, toilets, a red sand beach and a suspension bridge. I loved it.

  12. Fredericton, New Brunswick

Fredericton, the capital of New Brunswick, is located on the banks of the Saint John River. What it lacks in size it makes up for in amenities. Theater, museums, cafes, pubs, parks, walking and cycling trails. A four-season vacation area. Please see further reading in my post My Fredericton, New Brunswick.

11. Springhill, Nova Scotia

If you have heard of Nova Scotia’s favourite daughter, Anne Murray, then you will want to go through her museum. It has a large collection of memorabilia including photos, accolades and videos from her career.  She usually visits town during Old Home Week in August each year. Make sure to go through the Springhill coal mine. You will feel what it was like to go underground in horrible working conditions and understand the fear many endured while being buried alive for days when the mine collapsed in the town’s famous mining disaster in 1958.  A poignant exhibit that left me shaken, yet so happy I went.

    10 Cape Jourmain National Wildlife Area, New Brunswick

Great hiking along the coastline to the lighthouse. I really enjoyed the views to the Confederation Bridge across to Prince Edward Island.  Lots of bird-watching and an excellent interpretive center.

Confederation Bridge from Cape Tormentine June 30th, 2017

9. Stanhope National Park, PEI

This is the land of of sand dunes, lighthouses and beaches. Go for a dip in the ocean, or kayak along the shore. Photograph birds nesting and endless sunsets. Take a drive along the gulf coast parkway to Dalvay-by-the sea. Only 25 minutes to Charlottetown.

Stanhope Beach inside PEI national park

8. Welsford, New Brunswick,

What a hidden gem. Make sure to see to see Welsford Falls and hike Bald Mountain. If you are more daring, rock climbers from all over come here to climb. For further reading; Welsford, New Brunswick. The Best of

    7. Victoria, PEI

A small, charming seaside community, old restored homes have been transformed into artists’ shops, chocolatiers, restaurants and museums. Be sure to see Prince Edward Island’s largest tree and if you sure-footed and not afraid of heights, climb the ladder to the top of the local lighthouse.

  6. Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island

Canada’s story started here and Charlottetown does our country proud.  Beautifully maintained heritage buildings,  seaside views and helpful residents to make you feel at home.  Dine al fresco on a patio on Victoria Row before taking in a production at the art center or just people-watch. A  very walk-able town.

        Charlottetown, Pedestrian area, cafes, artist shops patios in a historic district

    5. Cape George, Nova Scotia.

Called the “little Cabot Trail” for a reason,  the road hugs the bends of the coastline and climbs, affording magnificent views of the Northumberland  coast.  Hike to the lighthouse. I brought a lunch and enjoyed the views even in early March.

Cape George Lighthouse

4. Hampton, New Brunswick

This was one of my favourite places last year.  It had everything – scenery, a beautifully laid-out town filled with sculptures and historic buildings. The artisan quilt barn tour was fun to follow. Lots of hiking trails and famous for bird-watching.  I highly recommend Hampton.

Light House Park Hampton NB

  3. Fundy National Park New Brunswick

If they views aren’t enough to bring you here, how about the world’s highest tides, two covered bridges and miles of hiking trails. For a long hike go to Third Vault Falls or for a shorter one try Dickson Falls. There is a golf course, a hotel, cabins and plenty of like-minded folks enjoying nature.

Fundy National Park

2. Sussex, New Brunswick

I really enjoyed myself in Sussex.  Between searching for murals and covered bridges, I also found two of my favourite places to hike.  For further reading please read;

1. Fundy Trail Parkway

What can I say about this place? Home to the famous Fundy Footpath – 41 kilometers of wilderness trail along the Fundy coast. Listed as one of the 50 best hikes in the world. The scenery is breathtaking.  There are shorter hikes to waterfalls, rock formations and a sea-captain’s grave.  for more information please read The Fundy Trail Parkway, Is Not The Fundy National Park.
