NOVA SCOTIA [Part Two] 1982

This trip was in August as noted and our trip around Nova Scotia was basically warm with plenty of sun, so it was rather startling to arrive at Louisbourg to find No sun, fog, windy and generally miserable enough to make us wonder why anyone would choose to live there. I only hope that we hit a bad time and other days would be very different. I do think the place was interesting enough to recommend visiting.
* ******************** *

Louisbourg
The settlement was founded in 1713 by the French from Placentia, and named after King Louis XIV. It was located on the eastern shore of Ile Royal (now Cape Breton Island) and was their major stronghold in North America as it commanded the entrance to the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the St. Lawrence River.
A treaty in 1758 gave the territory to Great Britain; the French losing Quebec and then all of Canada.
Louisbourg is now a National Historic Site. On a visit you can time warp to the 1700’s and see some of the restored buildings and the interpreters in costume performing functions as in the past.

Lunenburg
A port town on the north shore founded in 1753. Also a National Heritage site. Home of the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic. It is a large collection of buildings; aquarium, theater, restaurants and has additional vessels on exhibit.

I apologize for the three smaller photos. I entered all the photos with the "Save Original" box checked. Still do not understand what my computer is doing. When I view other UHH submitted photos which indicate "Upload", if I do that, the image immediately shrinks, so I do know it is my machine acting up. It is now also doing other weird stuff not related to the photo work so I expect to call in my computer guru to see if there is a cure. Stay posted.
