Summary

North Sydney, Nova Scotia. We were supposed to have left an hour ago - actually, technocally speaking, we were supposed to have left 15 hours ago. Anyway, this is downtown North Sydney, looking down Commercial Street from the corner of Archibald Street. North Sydney isn't a city in the technical sense - it was amalgamated into the Cape Breton Regional Municipality in 1995 along with the rest of the Sydney metropolitan area and the surrounding rural precincts, after functioning for many decades basically as a suburb of Sydney - but it has a distinct history of its own, too. North Sydney was founded in the early 19th Century or before, and soon grew to prominence as a shipbuilding centre: its shipyards turned out everything from little two-masted brigs to huge barques like the Lord Clarendon, the largest sailing ship ever built on Cape Breton Island, launched from North Sydney in 1851. But as the 19th Century wore on, the occupants of North Sydney's harbour changed from wooden sailing ships to steamers and ocean liners. They came in droves thanks to the Sydney Coal Fields, with which concerns at the port could provision oceangoing ships with all the fuel they needed for a trans-Atlantic voyage. Soon, North Sydney was one of the most important ports in Canada - at the turn of the century only Québec City, Montréal and Halifax handled more freight - and grew to over twice the size of Sydney (though this would change when the steel industry came to its southern neighbour). Today, North Sydney's economy revolves to a great degree around the ferry service to and from Newfoundland that operates out of its harbour, run by the publicly-owned Marine Atlantic corporation.
Quand même, cela est le centre-ville de North Sydney, une vue le long de la rue Commercial depuis son angle avec la rue Archibald. North Sydney n'est pas une ville au sens technique - il a été fusionnée avec la Municipalité régionale du Cap-Breton en 1995 avec le reste de l'aire urbaine de Sydnet et l'enceinte rurale qui l'entoure, après avoir desservi pendant de nombreuses décennies essentiellement comme une banlieue de Sydney - mais il a une histoire qui lui est propre, aussi. North Sydney a été fondée au début du XIXe siècle ou avant, et bientôt est devenu connu comme un centre de construction navale: ses chantiers navals pondraient tout de petits bricks à deux mâts à d'énormes trois-mâts barques comme le Lord Clarendon, le plus grand voilier jamais construit sur l'île du Cap-Breton, lancé à North Sydney en 1851. Mais alors que le XIXe siècle avançait, les occupants du port de North Sydney changaient de voiliers en bois aux navires à vapeur et paquebots. Ils sont venus en masse grâce aux Terrains houillers de Sydney, avec lesquels les entreprises au port pourrait approvisioner des navires de haute mer avec tout le carburant dont ils avaient besoin pour un voyage transatlantique. Bientôt, North Sydney était l'un des ports les plus importants du Canada - à la fin du siècle seulement Québec, Montréal et Halifax traitaient plus de marchandises - et avait grandi à plus de deux fois la taille de Sydney (bien que cela changerait lorsque l'industrie sidérurgique est venue à son voisin du sud). Aujourd'hui, en grande partie l'économie de North Sydney tourne autour du service de ferry vers et depuis Terre-Neuve qui marche à son port, géré par l'entreprise publique Marine-Atlantique.
