Pier 21's website has some helpful resources
if you're interested in this topic.

(Pier 21 was one of the main ports of entry for
immigrants to Canada in the early to mid
1900s, sometimes compared to USA's Ellis
Island. Almost 1 million immigrants came
through this port in Halifax before it shut
down [including my beloved great
grandmother!] It later became a national
historic site).

Battleship Texas going back into water for next phase of restoration in Galveston

The 122-year-old dreadnought, which is the United States’ last remaining battleship to be used in both World War I and World War II, has been undergoing repairs at Gulf Copper shipyard in Galveston since August 2022. On Tuesday morning it will be lowered into the water and moved to a nearby slip for the next phase of its $75 million restoration, which is expected to last between 18-24 months.

We didn't make it to Point Pleasant Park today because of the substantial rain and apparently my family is made of sugar. So granddaughter and her parents went to an indoor playground. I dropped my wife off at the casino, after emptying my wallet into her hands, and my youngest daughter and I walked over to the Canadian Museum of Immigration. On the way I protected the city from enemy aircraft. You're welcome...

Wish I still lived out east and could go see this awesome exhibition at Pier 21 in Halifax by my friend JJ Lee.

It's a fascinating blend of art and artifact, of the personal and historical. A family history uncovering a national history.

A charcoal portrait on paper from her grandfather's laundromat. Ghostly figures emerging from spreading watercolours. Hand-drawn wallpaper.

If you live anywhere close, you should go.

Halifax exhibit tells story of 4 generations of Chinese-Canadian family

A new exhibition at the Canadian Museum of Immigration in Halifax would never have come to fruition had JJ Lee not stumbled upon a century-old immigration certificate while clearing out her parents' attic in the early days of the pandemic.
