    Swissair Flight 111 Memorial

    This is one of the most peaceful but also emotional places on the Nova Scotia coast. On the night of September 2, 1998, Swissair Flight 111 was traveling from New York to Geneva with 229 people on board — passengers and crew from 16 different countries. Around 10:30 p.m., about 8 kilometers off this rugged shoreline, the plane crashed into the Atlantic Ocean after reporting smoke in the cockpit. Tragically, no one survived. Local fishermen and rescuers from the communities of Peggy’s Cove and Blandford were the first to reach the area. Many of them risked their lives that night in rough seas, hoping to help. The search and recovery operation that followed was one of the largest in Canadian history. This memorial — built by the Government of Canada — was designed to honour the memory of all 229 souls and to thank the local residents who provided support and compassion during the recovery effort.

    Fairview 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.
