Dartmouth is the province's second largest town. The Dartmouth ferry leaves the Halifax waterfront from beside the Historic Properties at the foot of George Street . The journey takes about ten minutes. The twin cities are also connected by two road bridges: the MacDonald, running just to the north of both city centres, and the Mackay, part of the outer ring road. The Quaker House, a small, grey-clapboard residence sitting three blocks up the hill from the dock. After the American War of Independence, several Quaker whaling families emigrated from Nantucket Island, off Cape Cod, to Dartmouth, but this is the only one of their houses to survive. The interior has been painstakingly restored to its late eighteenth-century appearance, its spartan fittings reflecting Quaker values. Among the exhibits are a two-hundred-year-old pair of shoes found under the floorboards during renovations in 1991.From here, it's another five-minute walk along and left at the end of King Street to a very short stretch of the Shubenacadie Canal, which once connected the Bay of Fundy to Dartmouth, a distance of 90km. Dartmouth Nova Scotia has great opportunities for sport tournaments of all kinds. Sport tourism is a part of Dartmouth and it can host a wide range of sports. |
