Canning

“…Canning is a surprise to one who drives across the Cornwallis region for the first time. One comes abruptly across streets shaded with fine trees, stores and wharfs and tall spars, and flapping sails almost in the shade of overhanging branches. The schooners with their hulls hidden in the narrow channel appear to be sailing on dry land through the dykes and fields as they follow the great tides that follow the moon around the world.”
-Robert R. McLeod, 1903, A History of Nova Scotia
