The Lunenburg port

Canada/Lunenburg-Nova Scotia, The Lunenburg port!

Lunenburg is a port town in Nova Scotia, Canada. Situated on the province's South Shore at the western side of Mahone Bay. 

The town was established by the four founding fathers, Patrick Sutherland, Dettlieb Christopher Jessen, John Creighton and Jean-Baptiste Moreau four years after Halifax was established. 

The town was one of the first British attempts to settle Protestants in Nova Scotia intended to displace Mi'kmaq and Acadian Catholics.

The historic town was designated a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Site in 1995. This designation ensures protection for much of Lunenburg's unique architecture and civic design, being the best example of planned British colonial settlement in Canada. The historic core of the town is also a National Historic Site of Canada.
