Aerial view of Fort Ogilvie, Point Pleasant Park

from Halifax Municipal Archives

    Fort Ogilvie?
  • Halifax Municipal Archives said:
    Yes! [https://www.flickr.com/photos/39418963@N05] is right. We have another image of Fort Ogilvie from a different angle from a few months earlier (CR63.3) that shows it is the same place. Thanks! Compare this to what remains when you next walk through Point Pleasant Park! These were busy places during wartime.

Military construction of gun batteries at Duncan's Cove

from Halifax Municipal Archives

  • rdorey11 said:
    Is this McNabs Island?
  • James Kyte said:
    This is the Duncan's Cove gun battery. The three gun positions can be seen in current aerial photographs incorporated into the private residences at the end of Windship Ln.
  • Halifax Municipal Archives said:
    Not McNabs, but a look at Google satellite view of Windship Ln, Duncan's Cove seems to verify James Kyte . Thanks so much! We will add that to our database.

Aerial view of active military site, perhaps Cow Bay?

from Halifax Municipal Archives

  • Halifax Municipal Archives said:
    In an email Peter Ziobrowski suggested these may be machine gun bunkers, and the only reference known to such a defence was for the training area at Cow Bay (Silver Sands beach area).
