    Great work and very interesting! Have you thought about doing a piece on the 1917 Halifax explosion?

      Thanks so much for checking out our video! We have definitely looked at that topic, it would be a fascinating subject to cover!

      Halifax has such an amazing history… so fortunate to still have so much of it intact and accessible!

    I love that they filmed from the upper decks of the ferries

      We certainly did, Darrel. Great views from the upper deck! :)

      We are so happy the algorithm brought you to us! And thank you so much for your really kind comments! We’re having such a blast working on these videos. Yes! We’ve definitely been considering some Age of Sail and pirate history down south to warm our chilly Canadian souls! :) thanks again!!

    The cannon goes off at noon everyday and so does 100 car alarms.

    Who knew there were so many forts in Halifax all within a days worth of sightseeing.

    • @bluelobstertales
      @bluelobstertales  Год назад

      Halifax has many more forts than one might think… in fact, based on experience, it takes about 26,000 steps to see just these forts. :)

  • @larrygiesbrecht3428

    4:48 "The 5 original forts were left to decay" after 1755. Is it known by what year there would have been nothing left of the original 5 forts?

    • @bluelobstertales
      @bluelobstertales  Год назад

      That’s actually a great question! Apparently the 5 original forts were completely gone around the end of the Seven Years’ War, possibly by 1765. And if you’re interested in learning more, check out this website, it is a wealth of really trustworthy information! hmhps.ca Their article titled “Defending Halifax: The Early Fortifications” directly talks about this very subject! Thanks so much for your awesome question and watching our video! :)

    How can a blockhouse be only 12 feet square, contain cannons and house 20 men? ruclips.net/video/P4F0n2v6AZk/видео.htmlsi=5rFvScXp8OVz1tzB&t=263

    How do we know they lived there for thousands of years, and not someone else? 2:32
