About This Seaport
Lunenburg Harbour on Nova Scotia's Mahone Bay, about 90 kilometres southwest of Halifax, has no container terminal at all - its business is fishing, seafood processing and small-craft berths, not box freight. The town hosts the head office and a major processing plant of High Liner Foods, Canada's largest seafood-processing company, making frozen fish and seafood the port's dominant cargo. Three commercial berths handle fishing vessels, supply boats, occasional small general-cargo ships and visiting cruise vessels, but nothing on a container-ship scale. Lunenburg's Old Town was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995 for its intact British colonial street plan and wooden architecture, and the harbour is also famous as the birthplace of the racing schooner Bluenose, built there in 1921. Road access runs via Highway 103 and Route 3 to Halifax; there is no rail connection. For container or general cargo, shippers use the Port of Halifax roughly 90 kilometres away as the practical alternative.
