2Swissair Flight 111 Memorial
Swissair Flight 111 (SR111/SWR111) was a scheduled international passenger flight from John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City, United States, to Cointrin Airport in Geneva, Switzerland. The flight was also a codeshare flight with Delta Air Lines.[1] On 2 September 1998, the McDonnell Douglas MD-11 performing this flight, registration HB-IWF, crashed into the Atlantic Ocean southwest of Halifax Stanfield International Airport at the entrance to St. Margarets Bay, Nova Scotia. The crash site was 8 kilometers (5 mi; 4 nmi) from shore, roughly equidistant from the small fishing and tourist communities of Peggy's Cove and Bayswater, killing all 229 passengers and crew on board the MD-11, making the crash the deadliest accident in the history of Swissair and the deadliest accident involving the McDonnell Douglas MD-11. It is also the second-deadliest aviation accident to occur in Canada, behind Arrow Air Flight 1285R.

3Fairview Lawn Cemetery
Titanic Grave Side. ( Fairview Lawn Cemetery) This is Fairview Lawn Cemetery, resting place of 121 victims of the RMS Titanic. Halifax became central to the Titanic story because it was the closest major port to the disaster site.When recovery ships left this very harbor in April 1912, they brought back 209 bodies. Many were never identified. Here, you’ll notice the simple gray granite markers — some with names, others only with a number and the date April 15, 1912. The graves are arranged in a slight curve, meant to resemble the bow of a ship, symbolizing the Titanic herself. One of the most touching stories is that of the ‘Unknown Child’, whose grave you’ll see just ahead. For decades, no one knew who he was. Modern DNA testing later identified him as Sidney Leslie Goodwin, a 19-month-old from England.
