Enjoy the schooner Theresa E. Connor, built in Lunenburg in 1938. The vessel fished the banks for 25 years, using dories. In the spring of 1963, the captain was unable to find a crew willing to risk life and limb dory fishing. Technology had changed from hook and line to huge trawl nets. The Theresa E. Connor slipped quietly back to port - the last of the once great fleet of salt bankers.  

Cape Sable - Built in 1962 at the Boot-Leiden Shipyard, Leiden, Holland, this steel-hulled side trawler represents the type of motorized fishing vessel that eventually replaced dory schooners like the Theresa E. Connor. In 1982, the Cape Sable retired from active service, replaced by larger stern trawlers. 

At the end of the wharf, facing the harbour, is the wheelhouse and captain's cabin of the side trawler Cape North. This vessel had been the first successful fresh fish trawler to sail out of the port of Lunenburg.

The Scallop Shucking House on the wharf is filled with photographs and artifacts about the scallop industry.
