Halifax (View of Halifax from Grain Elevator)

Halifax is the capital and chief city of the Province of Nova Scotia and the principal British naval station in the western hemisphere. The city lies in a regular plan along the shore of the fine harbour for about three miles, and is over one mile wide. The Citadel, an old fort 250 feet above sea level, covers the summit of the hill upon the eastern slope of which Halifax is built, and dominates every view of the city.
