Yarmouth, Port town in southwestern Nova Scotia, Canada
The town extends along the Bay of Fundy entrance, featuring a waterfront with traditional maritime buildings and a prominent lighthouse at the harbor mouth.
New England settlers established Yarmouth in 1761, transforming it into a major shipbuilding center that registered the highest tonnage per capita globally by 1878.
The Yarmouth County Museum preserves local maritime artifacts, industrial machinery, and documents that tell the story of regional settlement and development.
The ferry terminal connects Nova Scotia to Maine, while the town center provides banking services, retail stores, and medical facilities for southwestern Nova Scotia.
The area experiences 191 days of fog annually due to the meeting of cold Atlantic waters with warm Bay of Fundy currents.
