TERENCE BAY LIGHTHOUSE


Not far from the position of this lighthouse in Terence Bay, Nova Scotia, the largest pre-Titanic disaster at sea took place in the late 1800s. Hundreds of lives were lost on the RMS Atlantic. And hundreds were saved by residents of the nearby communities with the help of their fishing boats. A stroll past Sandy Cove and significant private property leads you through a sometimes muddy trail to the rocks surrounding this weather-beaten beacon. In this silhoutte picture, TC was standing near sea level looking southwest. This gorgeous community is only a short drive from Halifax; closer than Peggy's Cove, in fact.
