Aerial view of Citadel Hill looking northwest

    Date was more precisely fixed by researcher Will Flanagan based on comparison with other images of that time period.

Aerial view of Fort McNutt and Cape Roseway lighthouse

from Halifax Municipal Archives

  • James Kyte said:
    This is Fort McNutt, near Shelburne. The lighthouse in the distance is the Cape Roseway Light Station. The two guns are still in the woods on McNutt's Island, while the pictured lighthouse burned in 1959 and was replaced by a less distinctive one.
  • Halifax Municipal Archives said:
    Thanks James Kyte - looking at historical photos of the former Cape Roseway lighthouse confirms your identification. Definitely out of our usual geographic coverage, so I will let heritage colleagues in Shelburne know we have this image.

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.
