Description
(Copyright Mel Steinhauer all rights reserved) This 67 foot concrete tower lighthouse was built in 1868 on the rocky shore line of Nova Scotia, near Halifax. It still provides a beacon of hope for ships sailing the cold waters of the North Atlantic. One of the most photographed lighthouses in the world, it marks The Point and not The Cove as some believe. Before it was built, folklore says a woman found on these granite boulders in the 1800s, was the soul survivor of a shipwreck. She was injured with no memory, and was given the name of Peggy. This may be why the small inlet was named Peggys Cove, and why they still call this beautiful structure ...Peggys Point Lighthouse.
