Liverpool

A Baptist Church in Liverpool with a cute fire hydrant

This is the Mersey River, and the smoke in the background is from the paper mills, which are going to close in the next few years.
Fishing Boats that have been tied up at the wharf for the last 5 years.

The Hotel we stayed in on our first night in Nova Scotia.

Liverpool was the first place we stayed at when we arrived in Nova Scotia.
It is situated where Mersey River meets the ocean. It is an historic English Style town  with an economy based on  forests and fish. British Privateers were active in this area in the early 1800's, protecting the  British trade routes from incursions from the USA.
