Description

Historic Lunenburg brings together a host of images celebrating Lunenburg's proud sailing heritage and its history as a centre of fishing and marine culture, as well as its people, business, rich architectural traditions, and celebrated events.
From Lunenburg's beginnings as a British settlement for "Foreign Protestants" to its days as an international fish exporter, and as a home to traditionally crafted schooners, this book brings to life the spirited past of one of Nova Scotia's most picturesque communities.
