Local heritage group is looking for the remains of a historic Tantramar shipyard » CHMA
"This summer, the Tantramar Heritage Trust began test digs in search of Christopher Boultenhouse’s 19th century shipyard, a site now buried under decades of mud near Sackville’s industrial park. With archaeologist Dr. Cora Woolsey, a geophysics specialist from British Columbia, and Mount Allison student Flynn Cleary on the team, the project aims to uncover traces of the blacksmith shops, steam sheds, and foundations that once powered a thriving port. What lies beneath could reshape how Sackville remembers its shipbuilding past. I sat down with Paul Bogaard for a History of Boultenhouse."
There's nothing more interesting than seeing things and the constant disappearances of things here over time .. and tracking the transformation of this landscape which is fascinating and ever-changing. I have only been here since 2010.. but its been interesting to witness.. a true real-life greatest show on earth. If you think like I do about this amazing place you can't wait to see what is coming in the next decade.
I like to keep the phrase "illusion of permanence" in my mind as I observe things.. and their removal -- for whatever reason.
