Product Description
The South Shore town of Lunenburg has attracted visitors for years and been recognized as one of Nova Scotia's most picturesque towns. The streets leading up from the harbour are lined with heritage buildings many of which feature the unique Lunenburg 'bump.' Lunenburg has achieved the stature of being declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It also boasts a longstanding prosperity from shipbuilding and the fisheries. In many cases, family businesses have been handed down from generation to generation creating a strong community.
In this full-colour book, historian and heritage-expert Brian Cuthbertson takes his readers on a tour of the old town, looking at the gentility and charm of its landmark buildings, such as the Academy, and the blend of old and new at the waterfront. Cuthbertson also presents the town's history, since its founding in 1753 by a group of German Lutherans and French-speaking Calvinists, who were mainly farmers and tradesmen. He follows the course of economic growth in the fisheries, including the famous Grand Banks fishery and the building of the fastest ever Atlantic schooner, Bluenose.
Lunenburg, Then and Now is a revised edition of Cuthbertson's book Lunenburg, An Illustrated History, with an expanded look at the town today.
