21-Aug-25 / Halifax, Nova Scotia
Early morning view of the Georges Island National Historic Site, from the Zuiderdam. The Zuiderdam had to relocate to the harbor before we could start the 2nd day.
Zuiderdam holding position for the passengers to Tender to shore.

Walking along the waterfront.

Looking at this from the side toward the water, it looks like a piece of metal.	The other side actually looks like a statue.

The Cows Resturant sign.	The Bicycle Thief Resturant sign
On one side of the Bicycle Thief was this group of bicycles.	On the other side of the Bicycle Thief was this group of bicycle wheels.
Looking back torward the water front I found this boat docked.	Later I saw the boat again giving a tourist tour of the Halifax Harbor.

Walking on to our first stop, the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic.


The museum covers most of the Maritime areas, but we had a limited time so we only went into the Titantic Area.

Body #4 recovered by the crew of Mackay-Bennett. After he was buried in Fairview Lawn Cemetary he was identified as Sidney Leslie Goodwin.


Two grave stones

	This is a 1985 photo of the Crow's Nest.

Walking back to the Zuiderday, via the St. Mary's Basilica, The Old Burying Ground, and down the hill to the Tender pickup dock,
	Walking up this hill for 2 blocks was a task.

Saint Mary's Basilica
Unfortunately we were in Halifax on a Sunday so entrance to the Bascilica was limited. When we arrived at the Saint Mary's Basilica there was a service in progress. During this time we were limited to taking pictures from the rear of the Basilica. The side stained glass windows were beautiful but I could not get any photos.


Down this hill to the waterfront.	That block was only a 3 story drop. The next block is a 5 story drop to the water front.
We lost our docking space to the the Westerdam since they were scheduled to be in Halifax.	Early this morning the Zuiderdam moved from the dock to holding position in the harbor.
We have a short walk past the spot where we docked yesterday. Then along the dock until we get to the Tender Dock. Then board the Tender to go out to the Zuiderdam..
