York Redoubt, Military fortification in Ferguson's Cove, Canada.
The stone fortification stands on a strategic bluff with gun emplacements and defensive structures overlooking the entrance to Halifax Harbour.
Established in 1793, York Redoubt served as a crucial defense point for Halifax Harbour through three centuries, including both World Wars.
The site contains interpretive panels and exhibits showcasing military artifacts, artillery pieces, and fortification architecture from different periods.
The grounds remain open year-round from 8 AM to 8 PM with free admission, though winter maintenance is not provided.
A submarine defense net connected York Redoubt to McNab's Island in 1942, creating a physical barrier against underwater threats.
