Description
Mahone Bay is a town located on the northwest shore of Mahone Bay along the South Shore of Nova Scotia,Canada, in Lunenburg County .It's one of my favourite places to visit whenever I get back to Nova Scotia. Founded in1754,the first settlers on the Lunenburg Peninsula, including the present-day village of Mahone Bay, were foreign protestants who were German, Swiss, and Montb�liardais settlers, most of whom had farm lots in the general area. A succession of wars over the years, between the French, English, native tribes, and Americans eventually ended with the English gaining control over the area and peaceful occupations began to thrive. The town prospered with wooden shipbuilding in the 19th century. While shipbuilding declined with the arrival of steel and steam vessels, Mahone Bay became known for its boatbuilding. World War I and II brought brief revivals of shipbuilding with construction of schooners, tugs and barges. After the war, the ship yard became known for innovative production of moulded plywood boats.
The Settler's Museum explains and shows this history in detail. The town has a number of upscale shops and restaurants which almost universally are designed to appeal to the tourist trade, and sometimes shut down during the winter months.
