Random Halifax Picture #10

Rather than going to Tim Horton's, the "bikers" (it doesn't really count if you aren't using your legs) in Halifax like to hand out at Chebucto Landing, near the Naval Dockyard Clock, on the Halifax Waterfront. To be fair to motorcyclists in other cities without waterfronts, there is a Tim Horton's in the ferry terminal, just out of shot.

HRM Point Of Interest #13: Naval Dockyard Clock

The Naval Dockyard Clock was fabricated in London, England, in 1767 by Ayneth Thwaites. It served as the main time piece for countless sailors and dockyard workers from 1772 to 1993. The Naval Dockyard Clock is the last remaining architectural feature of the original Halifax Naval Dockyard, and one of the oldest turret clocks in Canada.

In 1996 the Navy presented this clock to the Halifax Regional Municipality to be placed here at Chebucto Landing, on the Halifax Waterfront, the place where the original European settlers arrived in 1749.
