Just before I left Nova Scotia, I wanted to pay my respect to the victims of the Titanic and to the 1917 Great Disaster. It was free to enter this cemetery, but this cemetery was only open for very random hours. It would be wise to check these hours of operation prior to any entry. It was quiet on a Monday morning. I was able to follow the signs to the locations that I wanted to visit, and I just parked my car as I viewed the graves.

This was always on my bucket list, and I am so glad I was able to get on a group tour from our cruise ship. We had a guide who told some great (and sad) stories about the various people who lost their lives. I enjoyed hearing about how they identified the youngest victim from DNA. It was also interesting learning there was a J. Dawson (not Jack though). You don't need much time, but its definitely worth seeing a piece of history. Well-maintained.

Hard to write a review about this cemetery. I’ve been around Halifax before but this was my first visit to the cemetery. It was very moving, especially when you know the history of the Titanic. The most moving part for me were the headstones with no name. Also it’s worth looking around the rest of the cemetery. Of note were the gravestones of those killed by the great fire in 1917 from the greatest human made explosion of the time caused by 2 vessels colliding in the harbour.
