Hi Suzanne. I love cemeteries, and always spend time in them during my travels. Yes, was so glad that we never started charging admission. That would have been awful. 🙂

Hi Cathy. That’s right! I’ve eaten a few meals at the Five Fisherman. Thankfully, have never seen a ghost! 🙂

Hi! I’ve been there on a few gray days (my biological mother is buried in the cemetery), and a cloudy/gray day makes for a very different atmosphere.

Hi Noel. Researchers are still trying to identify the unknown, and every once in a while they are successful.

Hi Denis. Haligonians have always talked about the Titanic and our role in the disaster. However, interest never really peaked until the movie was released. All of a sudden the outside world was fascinated with Halifax’s role in the disaster. When you do get back to Halifax, be sure to visit the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic as well. They have a lot of interesting Titanic artifacts.

Hi Donna. Thanks! If you ever get to Halifax, be sure not to miss it.

Hi Betsy. The graves receive a lot of visitors, both in groups and alone. There are still people looking for the identities of the unknown. Every once in a while someone identifies one of them.

Hi Donna. They do maintain the graves, and especially since the Titanic movie put Halifax and the cemetery on the map. I was still living in Halifax when the movie was released, and people were amazed at the interest it stirred up about Halifax. Some even suggested that the cemetery should be charging admission! Thankfully, that never happened!

Hi Michele. I can’t imagine anything worse than trying to survive a disaster, and when we travel a lot we are definitely at an increased risk. Good chance that Perth will be involved.
