Quick Quotes

WONDERFUL
"The town of Lunenburg, founded in 1753 on Nova Scotia's South Shore, grew and prospered over the centuries to become Canada's pre-eminent deep-sea fishing port on the East Coast. Stephen Ernst's wonderful collection of photographs, most of them new to us, brings to life the town's long and colourful history, through the faces of the people, the houses, schools, and churches they built, many gatherings on festive occasions, and through multiple vivid images of the burgeoning waterfront. A splendid, sweeping visual panorama of Lunenburg's history. What a gift to the town!" —Gerald Hallowell, author of The August Gales and As British as the King: Lunenburg County during the First World War
