14/09: The Atlantic Ocean

Posted by: The Agnew Family
Another beautiful day --- can't believe we've had two in a row. We have left the Bay of Fundy and are in Shediac on the Atlantic Ocean.
You know you've arrived in Shediac when you see the giant lobster. Shedica is known as the lobster capital of the world, at least that's what they claim.
We drove a little ways up the coast and found a pioneer museum. I found the story of the bell to be very interesting. St-Phillipe church's bell originated from Kingston, Ontario in 1909. It was built in the Canadian Locomotive Company's factory for a steam engine. In November 1935 the locomotive was sent to be dismantled. It was very common for small churches to buy bells from locomotives, therefore the bell found itself at St-Phillip's church. When the church was demolished in 2011 the bell was donated to the museum.
One of the marinas in Shediac.
The RCMP / Police Corporal Kaeble VC was in the harbour.
The lighthouse picked up a warm glow from the setting sun.
Beautiful sunset.
