    There still is an abundance of gold in Nova Scotia.
    The provincial government just makes it nearly impossible to keep a mining operation running.
    Gold was mined and processed again in Mooseland from 2017 until September 2023.

    I grew up in Yarmouth Nova Scotia, as a teen I spent my time in the local sea cadet Corps. We often visited the Legion since they were our main supporters, often the legionares would tell us stories. I've heard that Shelburne and Lunenburg often had German U-boat sailors would come ashore to enjoy a meal and a beverage

      I've heard something similar too about Halifax that tour operators have mentioned. Apparently some German Submariners were picked up somewhere off the coast and once searched, had ticket stubs from a movie theatre in Halifax the night before... I don't know if it's true, but I've heard it a couple of times.

      I grew up on Briar Island in the Bay of Fundy. During WWII fishermen from the area would sometimes find bodies floating at sea. Possibly the result of Uboat action against convoys in the area.

      Good catch. Oddly enough, people I've spoken to have said it with a soft O, but I've googled it and you're right.

      It’s well known in western Cape Breton germans came ashore and had fires and parties during WW2. My grandparents talked about seeing them surfaced and hearing germans yelling at night below their home.

    Rumor is that the stub of a ticket to the Capital Theater in Pictou, Nova Scotia was found in a German submarine captured in Canadian water.

    Here are a couple of more weird facts about Nova Scotia. 1) Nova Scotia was once Africa or vice versa, depending on your point of view. When the supercontinent Pangea split up the area on what is now the south shore was attached to what is now Africa. 2) During WWII, Weymouth was the only maritime location that built Fairmiles. The Fairmile was a British designed motor torpedo boat. The Fairmiles built in Weymouth went on to serve in the Royal Canadian Navy and the U.S. Navy. One is still afloat as a super yacht based in Savannah Georgia U.S.A. 3) The largest wooden structure in North America (and second largest in the world) is located in Pointe Claire N.S.. The church "L'Egilse Ste, Marie, was built over 2 years by 1600 local artisans. The man in charge of its construction could neither read nor write. BTW It is up for sale.
