Indian Harbour is a small fishing community of the Halifax Regional Municipality in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia on the Chebucto Peninsula. It is located between the communities of Peggy's Cove and Hackett's Cove. == History == Indian Harbour was founded in the early 18th century. The first recorded person to live in Indian Harbour was John Ormsby in 1784. The first and the oldest house in Indian Harbour is still standing today at the age of over 250 years. Indian Harbour is located next to the popular tourist destination Peggy's Cove and its famous lighthouse. There is also a lighthouse in Indian Harbour, located at the end of Paddy's Head Peninsula. The lighthouse was built in 1901 and manned until 1945, when power was introduced to the area.〔"Indian Harbour (Paddy's Head), NS," accessed July 10, 2011, (http://www.lighthousefriends.com/light.asp?ID=1035 ).〕 Indian Harbour's roads were dirt and had to be up kept by the locals until 1955 when Route 333 was widened and paved. In recent years one of Canada's biggest air disasters took place over the Atlantic Ocean near St. Margarets Bay. On September 2, 1998, Swissair Flight 111 crashed just off the coast; all 229 people on board died. Today when people come to visit Indian Harbour or Peggy's Cove they pass the Swissair Flight 111 Memorial. Nova Scotian singer Anne Murray used to own a beach in Indian Harbour, on the Paddy's Head Peninsula, and used to let the public use the beach, but she sold it in 1999. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Indian Harbour, Nova Scotia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
