Halifax Harbour is a large natural harbour on the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia, Canada.
Located in the Halifax Regional Municipality, Halifax Harbour is considered to be the second largest ice free harbour in the world, although this claim is also contested by roughly a half dozen other harbours, depending upon how harbour limits are delineated.
The harbour is called chebucto by the Mi'kmaq Nation and runs in a northwest-southeast direction.
Based on average vessel speeds, the harbour is strategically located approximately one hour sailing time north of the Great Circle Route between the Eastern Seaboard and Europe. As such, it is the first inbound and last outbound port of call in eastern North America with trans-continental rail connections.
The harbour is largely formed by a drowned river valley which succumbed to sea level rise since glaciation. The Sackville River now empties into the upper end of the harbour in Bedford Basin, however its original river bed has been charted by the Canadian Hydrographic Service throughout the length of the harbour and beyond.

Counting down the last few weeks of Yorkshire Tiger: it's been announced by Transdev that the new name for the business will be "Team Pennine", and Tiger's bright orange will be replaced by a magenta colour scheme. Here is ex Arriva Yorkshire YJ09EYB approaching Halifax Bus Station on the short run down from Claremount.
Bottom centre is Northgate House, previously Calderdale Council offices, and the former Central Library, now converted to a sixth form centre and retail opportunity (!). Above is Halifax Town Hall. Immediately right is the former Odeon (now Mecca Bingo), and lower right is Broad St Plaza, hanging by a thread as tenants disappear one by one. Behind the town hall is Crossfield House, home of DWP and built on the site of Crossfield Bus Station. Trivia: I won a prize of £50 in a competition to name Crossfield House where I was then based - the name was my suggestion!
