Shelburne


Shelburne is pretty much like a museum, with buildings dating back to 1800.
It is still a working port, and was settled by Loyalists, and in 1783 had a population of 16,000.
It was the largest community in British North America.
I am sure this is why we saw so many churches and cemeteries,  and could not make out where all the people came from. I am sure it is not as populated now.
