Geocache Description:


This cache is located at a Historical Shipyard Site. The community, Canning was incorporated in 1760. The Canning harbour was also noted for ship-building with, beginning in 1840, four ship-building industries located here. The Bigelow family were noted ship-builders. The Schooners: Blomidon, Conductor, General George C. Hogg, Fieldwood (name-sake of the Heritage Society) and others were built in the Bigelow Yards in Canning. In the 1800s Canning was the largest community in the eastern Annapolis Valley. With a population of over 3000, it was larger than Kentville and Wolfville, and was a centre of industry and commerce. There is a little playground for the kids and a historical site marker for viewing. Note: The cache was moved at one point so some of the older photos of the grass fire are taken near the previous hiding spot and show a different container. Parking is available nearby.
