Lunenberg

We stopped to explore the ship-building town of Lunenberg on the South Shore. We saw an interesting demonstration of how they actually launch a new ship and visited a museum that describes the fishing industry, boat-building and the history of the town. The museum included two boats at the dock - one a fishing trawler and one a ship from the 30s that salted the fish as they caught them.

The town is pretty with lots of shops and galleries to explore. The historic downtown and wharf areas are designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
