Pier 21

Pier 21: But more than eight decades of Canadian history await, according to The Chronicle Herald. Many then continued their voyage on the train, venturing into a land of overwhelmingly vast expanses, punctuated with a city or town, followed by hundreds of miles of wilderness. Some settled in urban areas; others learned to navigate an endless sea of prairie or coax crops from acres of rocky soil; still others pushed on, into the hinterlands of the North and Northwest and It takes less than 10 minutes for the No. 8 bus to complete its route from Scotia Square on Barrington Street to Pier 21 on the Halifax waterfront. A sign inside the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 speaks volumes. From 1928 to 1971, one million people had their first glimpse of Canada when their ships docked at Pier 21 after days-long, often brutally harsh journeys from all over the world.
