| Description |
Pictou, Nova Scotia. A view from near the south end of the Harvey Veniot Causeway toward the town centre of Pictou. Since its foundation in 1767 on the former summering site of an itinerant Mi'kmaq community, Pictou's identity and economy have been closely tied to the shipping lanes of the Northumberland Strait. Shipbuilding is especially important - the Pictou Shipyard sprang to life after a branch of the Intercolonial Railway came through town in the late 1880s, and it's famous for having constructed the Canadian Merchant Navy's "Park Ships" during World War II. These days, though, many former industrial sites on the waterfront have been redeveloped for recreation and tourism. Pictou, Nouvelle-Écosse. Une vue de près du bout sud de la chaussée Harvey-Veniot vers le centre-ville de Pictou. Depuis sa fondation en 1767 à l'ancien lieu d'estivage d'une communauté itinérante des Micmac, l'identité et l'économie de Pictou ont été liées étroitement aux couloirs maritimes du détroit de Northumberland. La construction navale est particulièrement important - le Chantier naval de Pictou a sauté à la vie après ce qu'un embranchement du Chemin de fer Intercolonial est venu à travers la ville à la fin des années 1880, et il est célèbre pour avoir construit les bateaux «Park» de la Marine marchande du Canada lors de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Ces jours-ci, cependant, de nombreux anciens sites industriels sur la rive ont été réaménagées pour des fins récréatives et touristiques. Pictou, Nueva Escocia. Una vista desde cerca del extremo sureño de la Calzada Henry Veniot hacia el centro de Pictou. Desde su fundación en 1767 en el antiguo lugar de veraneo de una comunidad itinerante de los micmac, la identidad y la economía de Pictou se han vinculado estrechamente a los corredores marítimos del Estrecho de Northumberland. La construcción naval es especialmente importante - el Astillero de Pictou volvió a la vida tras que un ramal del Ferrocarril Intercolonial vino a través de la ciudad al fin de los años 1880, y es famoso por haber construido los buques "Park" de la Marina Mercante de Canadá durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. En estos días, sin embargo, muchos de los antiguos terrenos industriales en la costanera se han restaurado para propósitios recreativos y turísticos. |
