Where did immigrants arrive in Halifax before Pier 21 was opened in March of 1928?
Pier 2 in the North End of Halifax opened as the Ocean Terminal in the late 1800s and functioned as Halifax’s primary immigration shed up until 1928. For further information please contact us for an essay on Pier 2. We also have photographs of this Pier for sale if anyone is interested in a remembrance of a relative who arrived during this period. These are available for twenty-five dollars and like the ship images come framed and with a personal caption (when one is requested). They can be ordered the same way as ship images, detailed in Answer 11.
