Parrsboro Harbour is a Canadian harbour located in Cumberland County, Nova Scotia. Situated on the north shore of the Minas Basin at its western boundary, the harbour is fed by several fresh water sources: * Farrell River (through the Parrsboro Aboiteau) * Mill Creek * Whitehall Creek The harbour is completely tidal, emptying at low tide. It is marked by a lighthouse on the west side of the harbour entrance. The town of Parrsboro sits on the shores of the harbour. The harbour became a port of registry in 1850. In its peak years of the 1890s, over 1646 ships arrived and departed annually. Today it is regularly used by fishing vessels, a few recreational vessels and occasional visits by coastal freighters.〔Stanley Spicer ''Sails of Fundy: The Schooners and Square-riggers of the Parrsboro Shore (Hantsport, NS: Lancelot Press, 1984), p.14 and 15〕 ==References== 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「Parrsboro Harbour」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
