    Extractions: Link to Us Nova Scotia From 1750-1752, twelve ship loads of Germans arrived in Halifax, Nova Scotia, as part of an attempt at colonization of the territory by protestant Germans. The most comprehensive study of these Germans was done by Winthrop Pickard Bell and published in his book, The "foreign Protestants" and the settlement of Nova Scotia : the history of a piece of arrested British colonial policy in the eighteenth century , 1961. Much of the genealogical information on the colonists that he used in his study is found in four volumes in the Public Archives of Nova Scotia (MG 1, no. 109-111, but also on microfilm at the Family History Library #1421430). Copies of the passenger lists, victualling lists, military lists, lists of inhabitants in the colonies, and historical information on the Lunenburg and Halifax German colonies of Nova Scotia is also available on the Internet!

    Extractions: Acadia University's Planter Studies Centre is a research institute which focuses scholarly attention on the 8000 New England residents who migrated to Nova Scotia between 1759 and 1774. Known as "Planters" (the old English term for colonists), they settled in townships throughout the frontier colony of Nova Scotia (which included the modern Canadian provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick). They were among the first anglophone immigrants to the mainland area of present-day Canada. The Planter Studies Centre is a valuable facility that assists researchers in a variety of fields connected with Planter Studies. The Planters have often been overlooked by history, and this makes Planter research all the more intriguing. Professional and amateur scholars alike explore such diverse fields as Planter genealogy, music, literacy, gravestones, material culture (which includes architecture and artifacts ), as well as economic history, religious history, family history, and political history.

    Extractions: Home Partners Nova Scotia What's biodiversity ... European impact The first European visitors to Nova Scotia were Norse explorers, in the early eleventh century. In 1497 the adventurer John Cabot passed through the area, and he remarked on the rich fishing grounds of Nova Scotia. The French settled an area that they called Acadia in the seventeenth century. This included all of Nova Scotia plus parts of New Brunswick and Quebec in Canada and Maine in the USA. The British soon followed the French, also attracted by rich fishing grounds and valuable furs. In the 1700s the French and British, old enemies, disputed over ownership of the area. The feuding continued until, finally, the British gained control. In the mid-1700s the British, deciding that the Acadians were a threat, expelled all who refused to swear allegiance to Britain. Once the British had established firm control of the province, the Acadians were allowed to return. With them came settlers from Germany, Ireland, Scotland and England. top of page ^ Today, nearly a quarter of Nova Scotia's 940 000 people recognise Britain as their country of ethnic origin. Many others have French or European origins.

87. NSBA - History Of Boatbuilding In Nova Scotia
    For a good history by David Walker of nova scotia motorized inshore fishing boats, visit http//www.civilization.ca/hist/lifelines/linsc01e.html  
    http://www.nsboats.com/history.asp
    
    Extractions: Boatbuilding in Nova Scotia began with the first European settlers and reached its zenith in the late 19 th century, when the province launched vast fleets of wooden-hulled vessels, including the W.D. Lawrence , the largest wooden ship ever built in Canada. The last great shipbuilding boom came during the First World War, when the demand for shipping led to the construction of hundreds of sailing ships, including the elegant "Tern" (three masted) schooners and the famous Grand Banks schooners. Wood remained the principal building material until the 1970s. Thousands of the ubiquitous "Cape Island" style fishing boats were built throughout the province. The original "Cape Islander" was a small inshore boat, powered by a "make and break" one-cylinder gas engine. Later, they evolved into large and powerful vessels, used in a wide variety of fisheries. Although now mostly built of fibreglass, the "Cape Islander" remains the most common type of inshore fishing boat in Nova Scotia. In Nova Scotia, the building of yachts goes back farther than many people might imagine. The Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron (RNSYS), located in Halifax and founded in 1837, lays claim to being the oldest yacht club in North America. As early as the 1840s yachts were being built and Ebenezer Moseley of Dartmouth, NS designed and built some notable vessels. In her history of the RNSYS, Nancie Erhard reports that, unusually for his time, Moseley worked from drawings rather than carved half models. He also used a water trough to test the performance of some of his designs before building. Does this make him a pioneer of tank testing?

Although the Indians were, without a doubt, the first people to visit this corner of l'Acadie while fishing and hunting, nothing indicates that they remained here for any length of time. To learn more about the Deportation of the Acadians, visit the web site by Marie-Claire Pitre. (in French) Already in the 1750's, during the summer months, the Jerseys ran a fishing station at "La Pointe de l'Île". In 1782, two families settled permanently in Chéticamp. Others followed and history tells us that 1785 marks the foundation of Chéticamp. "La Grant à Pierre Bois", a charter by which the Crown granted 7000 acres of land, was signed in 1790 by 14 of these brave settlers. In 1955, a monument was erected in the Platin, in memory of our ancestors, better known as, "Les Quatorze Vieux" (14 old men).

94. Acadian History: Clare Beverage: Meteghan, Digby Co., Nova Scotia,Canada: GrassR
    A brief history presented by the Clare Beverage company of Meteghan, Digby County.  
    http://www.grassroutes.com/clare/acadian.htm
    
    Extractions: The name Acadia originally applied to the colonies of New France, to an area that included southeastern Quebec, eastern Maine, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. Some say the name came from the Greek "Arcadia" meaning "rural contentment." It was thought to be named by Verazanno who sailed near the maritimes in 1524. The name "Acadian" was the name given to the early French settlers who migrated from France to Acadia. Note that the name "Acadian" was transformed into "Cajun" in Louisiana. The English pronunciation of "Acadien" explains its spelling (Acadien -> Acadjunn -> Cajun). June of 1605 a ship came to the Island and the survivors were loaded aboard and brought to the site of Port Royal. Poutrincourt had chosen the site, built the Habitation and they had been greeted by the Native Indians who had become friends. The Natives taught them to survive using the land, they also shared their food, helped with the work, and spent time together learning and teaching in turn! The colonization of Acadia starts with the founding of Port Royal in 1605. Many new French settlers arrived there, they worked hard, tilling the soil and erecting dikes which prevented high tides from soaking and ruining the main land. The dikes also led run-off from the fields back to the ocean. This special system was refined over long periods of time and called "Aboiteaux". They built houses, planted gardens, and upgraded the conditions of the Habitation. Marc Lescarbo wrote a play called "Le Theatre de Neptune"(Neptune Theatre) which established a theatre and began the Ordre de Bon Temps, which became the first social club in North America in 1606. Within a matter of years, the population there grew significantly. With patience and devoted time, Port Royal became a prosperous agricultural district.

First designated as Port Forchu or Forked Harbour (a translation of the Mi'kmaq Maligeak by Samuel de Champlain, the new name was transferred from Yarmouth, Massachusetts, by New England Planters and fishermen. It appears first in the document "A Grant for a Township at Cape Forchu called Yarmouth (1 September 1759)". For many years, Yarmouth was the major ship building centre of Nova Scotia. By the 1870s Yarmouth reached its pinnacle of fame and possessed more tonnage per capita than any other seaport in the world. All of this was swept aside by the advent of steam and the consequent decline of Golden Age of Sail. Evidence of the prosperity of this bygone era may be found in the surviving domestic architecture of Yarmouth town and county. In addition, the Yarmouth County Museum depicts much of this history through displays of ship portraits, models, archives, and other artifacts. Yarmouth is also home to the Firefighters Museum of Nova Scotia, which houses a rare collection of early equipment and memorabilia.

    Extractions: History Miss Clara Killam walked the streets of Milton many times and each time she saw the beauty of the lake and the harbour. She saw the sloping grade to the east and to the west from Milton square. A plan was forming. In this plan she could see that with her love of horses, a legacy could be left to her Town for generations to come. Miss Killam contacted Mr. J.L. Mott, a designer in New York, and expressed her wishes. Mr. Mott designed for her a very useful Public Drinking Fountain. Atop stood a beautiful prancing black stallion. The fountain had two drinking troughs for horses and cattle. It had four smaller and lower troughs for dogs and sheep. Drinking faucets flowed contiually from the mouth of a moulded dog head. the overflow filled the other troughs automatically. Cups were attached to be handy for the thirsty passer-by. This splendid gift was placed on its base on May 20th, 1893. The horse first faced north. Later the base was moved to the westward to widen Main street, then the horse faced east. With automobiles replacing horses, and cattle being cared for in herds, the need for water at the fountain reduced. Faucets were removed and replaced by a push button to allow the water to flow and then to shut off when the button was released. The cups were also removed, but one could quench his thirst from the moulded dog’s head well into the 1920’s.

    Extractions: 9 December 1848 On December 9th, 1848, this item appeared in the British Colonist, a three-times-a-week newspaper published in Halifax, Nova Scotia. During the ten months that elapsed between the completion, in January 1849, of this telegraph line between Saint John and Calais, and the completion in November 1849 of the telegraph extension between Saint John and Halifax, the New York Associated Press needed a fast courier service to carry the European News across the telegraph gap between Halifax and Saint John. This need led Daniel Craig and Hiram Hyde to organize the fast horse courier service then called the Halifax Express, later known as the Nova Scotia Pony Express, combined with a chartered steamship service across the Bay of Fundy.

    history of nova scotia license plates. Believe it or not, nova scotia motorists were required to drive on the left side of the road until April 15th  
    http://www.canplates.com/ns.html
    
    Extractions: Style of 1989-date How it all began... The province started registering cars in 1907, prescribing a one-time $5 fee. The motorist was provided with a small aluminum disc carrying the registration number to be mounted on the dashboard. The plates were owner-provided and bore the initials NS after the registration number. The province did not start supplying plates until rather late, so home made plates are rather common. Examples are found made of hand-painted tin or wood, leather with metal numbers. Even a few well-made porcelain plates have surfaced. In 1918 annual registration was required and the province began supplying the plates in pairs. It is possible the city of Halifax issued small porcelain plates for a one-time fee from about 1905 to '07. An example reading "HALIFAX AUTO REGISTER" has been reported in a Halifax Museum, but this has not been confirmed.
