• Swissair Flight 111 Memorial - This is one of the most serene yet emotional places on the Nova Scotia coast. On the night of September 2, 1998, Swissair Flight 111 was en route 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 tragically crashed into the Atlantic Ocean after reporting smoke in the cockpit. Sadly, there were no survivors. Local fishermen and rescuers from the communities of Peggy’s Cove and Blandford were the first to reach the area, many risking their lives in rough seas, hoping to assist. The subsequent search and recovery operation was one of the largest in Canadian history. This memorial—constructed by the Government of Canada—was designed to honor 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 Site. (Fairview Lawn Cemetery)
  This is Fairview Lawn Cemetery, the resting place of 121 victims of the RMS Titanic. Halifax became central to the Titanic story as it was the closest major port to the disaster site. When recovery ships departed from this very harbor in April 1912, they returned with 209 bodies, many of whom 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 poignant stories is that of the ‘Unknown Child’, whose grave you’ll see just ahead. For decades, his identity was unknown. Modern DNA testing later identified him as Sidney Leslie Goodwin, a 19-month-old from England.
