Маяк Пойнт-Прим

Маяк Пойнт-Прим (англ. Point Prim Lighthouse) — маяк, расположенный на мысе Пойнт-Прим на входе в узкий пролив Дигби-Гат, соединяющий залив Фанди с заливом Аннаполис-Бейсин который служит естественной гаванью для городов Дигби и Аннаполис-Ройал, графство Дигби, провинция Новая Шотландия, Канада. Построен в 1804 году. Автоматизирован в 1984 году. История Узкий и достаточно опасный пролив Дигби-Гат отделяет закрытый залив Аннаполис-Бейсин, служащий естественной гаванью для города Дигби и других прибрежных поселений, от Атлантического океана. В 1801 году жители города Дигби направили в парламент Новой Шотландии петицию с просьбой о строительстве маяка. Парламент Новой Шотландии петицию одобрил но на условиях софинансирования строительства с жителями города. В итоге строительство завершилось в 1904 году, маяк Пойнт-Прим стал третьим маяком Новой Шотландии после маяка Самбро и маяка Кейп-Розуэй. Первый маяк просуществовал всего 4 года и был уничтожен пожаром уже в 1808 году. В 1817 был построен второй маяк, в этот раз правительство Новой Шотландии выделило 400 фунтов на его строительство, а ещё 100 фунтов собрали жители округа. Второй маяк представлял собой квадратный белый деревянный дом смотрителя с вертикальными красными полосами на всех стенах, кроме южной. Фонарная комната располагалась в эркере в северной части здания. Значение маяка возросло в 1865 году, когда начались регулярные рейсы пассажирского парохода между городами Дигби и Сент-Джон. В 1871 году на маяке был установлен противотуманный сигнал. В 1873 году маяк снова был уничтожен пожаром. В 1874 году был построен третий маяк. Он представлял собой квадратную деревянную башню высотой 10 метров с наклонными стенами и фонарной комнатой на вершине, к которой сбоку примыкал двухэтажный дом смотрителя. Маяк бы выкрашен в белый цвет с вертикальными красными полосами. Стоимость строительства нового маяка составила $3410,45. В 1876 году маяк был повреждён молнией. В 1930 году маяк был электрифицирован. К 1960-м годам маяк сильно обветшал, 13 мая 1964 года бульдозер сбросил его в море, а вместо него построили новый, уже четвёртый по счёту, который стоит и по сей день. Он представляет собой квадратное одноэтажное белое бетонное здание, на углу которого возвышается бетонная башня высотой 14 метров с вертикальными красными полосами. В 1984 году маяк был автоматизирован. Сейчас маяк находится на территории парка, в котором он служит главной достопримечательностью. Примечания
Prince of Wales Tower

The Prince of Wales Tower is the oldest martello tower in North America and is located in Point Pleasant Park, Halifax Regional Municipality, Nova Scotia, Canada. It was built in 1796 by Captain James Straton and was used as a redoubt and a powder magazine. Restored, it was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1943. History In 1796-97, Edward, Duke of Kent had a battery built to defend the point batteries. A few years later, the battery was converted to a large round stone tower known as the Prince of Wales Tower, similar to the Martello Towers built in large numbers elsewhere by the British military. The Prince of Wales Tower is named after Edward's eldest brother, the future George IV of the United Kingdom. There were five Martello Towers built in Halifax, the Prince of Wales Tower being the last remaining Tower. Structure The Prince of Wales Tower is 26 feet (7.9 m) high and is 72 feet (22 m) in diameter. The exposed material is ironstone rubble masonry, with 8-foot-thick (2.4 m) walls. The tower is a squat, round structure built of stone, almost three times as wide as it is high. The original construction allowed for six mounted guns on the roof and four guns on the second storey. The second storey was intended for barrack use and the ground floor for storage. The tower is 72 feet in diameter and the walls at the base are 8 feet thick. The tower could accommodate 200 soldiers. Further modifications were made over the next seventy years. By 1813, the Tower mounted four 6-pound guns on garrison carriages on its barrack level, two 24-pound guns on traversing platforms and six 24-pound cannonades on traversing slides on top. After 1864, the Tower was used as a self-defensible depot magazine. The roof was replaced in 2016.

History In the far corner of the Royal Artillery Park, a diminutive red brick building, is the Cambridge Military Library. This building was the social and literary centre of military Halifax. The Library opened in 1817 at Grafton Street, as an alternative to the more notorious choices of city entertainment. It moved to its present location in Royal Artillery Park in 1886 and was renamed Cambridge Military Library in 1902.

Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron

The Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron (RNSYS) is a yacht club, the oldest in the Americas, and is located on the Northwest Arm of Halifax Harbour in Halifax, Nova Scotia. History Originally established as the Halifax Yacht Club in 1837, the club was granted permission by Queen Victoria to use "Royal" in its name in 1861. That year, the Prince of Wales presented the club with its most prestigious trophy, the Prince of Wales Cup. In 1862, it received its first Admiralty warrant, allowing its yachts to display the blue ensign for privileges including exemption from harbour dues. On November 25, 1875, a group of yacht-owning members broke off and formed the Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron, following a dispute over racing rules. In November 1880, the Admiralty finally acknowledged that nearly all the yachts from the Royal Halifax Yacht Club had moved over to the Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron, and granted the Squadron's request for a warrant. The club was re-named the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron in 1880. Organization The Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron has been incorporated as a not-for-profit society in Nova Scotia, Canada, and has legal status to operate in Nova Scotia. The Yacht Squadron is home to the RNSYS race teams coached by head coach Agustin Ferrario, as well as 2012 Olympian Danielle Dube, and 2004 and 2008 Olympian Lisa Ross, the Squadron has sent at least one youth sailor to every ISAF Youth Worlds since 2010. In 2013, the RNSYS sent 5 Youth sailors to Youth Worlds. RNSYS has, since 1905, partnered with the Boston Yacht Club of Marblehead, Massachusetts in organizing the Marblehead to Halifax Ocean Race held biennially in odd-numbered years. It is believed to be the world’s longest-running offshore ocean race. The Squadron hosted the International Federation of Disabled Sailing (IFDS) World Championships in 2014, and has become a centre of excellence for disabled sailing.

The hangars and terminal building were located near the present day park along Connaught Avenue. The park serves the neighbourhood of Westmount. The park is named after Donald Saunders whose contribution to aviation in Halifax is explained on a plaque under the memorial sculpture in the park: "This park was created for the citizens of Halifax and is named Saunders Park to commemorate the life work of a pioneer in Canadian aviation. Wing Commander Donald W. Saunders was associated with the development of aviation in the Halifax area for many years. He was instructor to the Halifax Flying Club from 1928 to 1937, served with the Royal Flying Corps in the War of 1914-1918 and with the Royal Canadian Air Force in World War II. From 1931-1937 Wing Commander Saunders was Manager of the Halifax Municipal Airport. This park is located on a portion of the old airport. During the War of 1939-1945 this area was occupied by Military District Number Six Depot, Canadian Army." References External links History of Westmount Park and Chebucto Field
