Science East

Science East is a charitable science education organization based in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada. Founded in 1994, it provides science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education through school programs, travelling exhibits, a portable digital planetarium, teacher professional learning, workshops, and community outreach throughout New Brunswick. From 1999 until 2024, Science East operated an interactive science centre in the former York County Jail in downtown Fredericton. History Science East was founded in 1994 as New Brunswick's first interactive science centre. In 1999, it relocated to the former York County Jail, a historic building constructed in 1842. The science centre combined interactive exhibits with interpretation of the building's history. Over time, the organization expanded its activities beyond the museum by offering curriculum-linked school programs, travelling exhibits, STEM workshops, teacher professional learning, summer camps, and outreach programs across New Brunswick. In February 2024, Science East temporarily closed its museum because of financial and operational challenges while continuing province-wide educational programming. In July 2024, the organization announced plans to sell the York County Jail property to help secure its long-term future and pursue a new permanent science centre. The property was sold later that year, and Science East relocated to temporary offices while continuing its outreach programming. Programs Science East delivers science education programs throughout New Brunswick, including classroom workshops, travelling exhibits, STEM activity kits, public science events, teacher professional learning, and outreach programming. The organization also operates a portable digital planetarium that brings astronomy programming to schools and communities across the province. Science East presents public events including March Break SciFest in partnership with community organizations. Affiliations The museum is affiliated with the Canadian Museums Association and the Virtual Museum of Canada. References Trip Advisor Review External links Science East

Sheldrake Island

Sheldrake Island (French: l'Île aux Becs-Scies) is an island in New Brunswick, Canada, known for being the site of New Brunswick's first lazaretto. It is located only 8 miles from Chatham, on the Miramichi River. History The lazaretto was established in 1844, on the site of a cholera quarantine station from 1832. 44 lepers were landed on July 19, 1844, the majority being Acadians, from the Tracadie-Neguac area. The island also contained housing for typhus patients, but the lepers objected to this. The arrival of a ship from Ireland with many typhus and smallpox patients forced them to be moved to Middle Island. Dr. Alexander Key, Secretary to the Board of Health for Northumberland and Gloucester, was the official in charge. The buildings were filthy with vermin. Soon the lepers lost faith in Dr. Key's remedies and began escaping. By December 18, there were only 20 left. The board recommended punishment and locking them up. The escaped lepers were hunted down and brought back in handcuffs. The lazaretto was soon surrounded by a spiked palisade 12 ft high. The inmates burned the buildings in October 1845. The quarantine station was reopened after 1847. The remaining inmates were moved to a new lazaretto in Tracadie in 1849. A temporary quarantine station was ordered to be erected on the island in March 1848. Disagreements over the matter meant that the buildings were not moved from Middle Island until April 3. A brawl erupted on the island between representatives of the Board of Health and Justices of the Peace over the matter. As a result, the buildings stayed on the ice until the order was cancelled and the buildings were moved back. Current uses The island is mostly uninhabited, except for an historic lighthouse, known as Sheldrake Island Front Range Light. A leper's cemetery is on the island, containing 15 graves. In fiction Kathy Reichs' novel Bones to Ashes involves Sheldrake Island and its history as a plot point. Musical Tribute Canadian folk singer Shane Pendergast's 2022 album The House Before the Bridge includes a musical tribute to these events called "Sheldrake Island.".

West Quoddy Head

p4 Das West Quoddy Head ist der östlichste Punkt auf dem Festland des Bundesstaates Maine und somit der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika. Es bildet den westlichen Eingang zur Cobscook Bay und zum St. Croix River und ist durch den Quoddy Head State Park unter Naturschutz gestellt. 1808 wurde ein Leuchtturm aus Bruchsteinmauerwerk hergestellt. Wie alle vor 1850 errichteten Leuchttürme in Maine – mit Ausnahme des Portland Head Light – wies er eine Höhe von 49 Feet (ca. 15 m) auf. Ein Ersatz dieses Leuchtturms erfolgte 1853, der wegen minderwertigen Mörtels 1858 abgerissen wurde. Daraufhin wurde die heute noch existierende, von Ziegelmauerwerk umhüllte gusseiserne Struktur errichtet. Das Gebäude ist 49 ft (ca. 15 m) hoch, der Durchmesser beträgt an der Basis 16 ft (ca. 4,9 m) und verjüngt sich auf 14 ft. (ca. 4,3 m). Das rot-weiß gestreifte Gebäude besitzt heute 15 horizontale Streifen (8 × rot, 7 × weiß), historische Aufnahmen zeigen 16 Streifen (8 × rot, 8 × weiß) oder 13 Streifen (7 × rot, 6 × weiß). Seit 1988 ist der Leuchtturm automatisiert, ein computergesteuerter Mechanismus betreibt das weiße Blinklicht, welches eine Höhe von 83 Fuß (ca. 25 m) über dem Meeresspiegel erreicht. Die Sichtweite des ganztägig blinkenden Lichts beträgt 15 bis 18 Seemeilen (24 bis 29 Kilometer). Durch die U.S. Coast Guard wurde 2003 der Anstrich erneuert, im Folgejahr wurden die Spiegel der Laterne generalüberholt. Das 1857 errichtete Wohnhaus des Leuchtturmwärters enthält heute ein von der West Quoddy Head Light Keepers Association unterhaltenes Museum, das vom Memorial Day bis Mitte Oktober geöffnet ist. Den besten Blick auf den Leuchtturm hat man vom Ende der Quoddy Head Road, die vom Zentrum von Lubec zum Parkplatz nahe der Küste im State Park führt. Weblinks Westquoddy
