Jamie, <br /> <br />Not sure of the schooners name, I believe they were visiting the city. There was a 3 masted barque, much larger, in the next slip which sustained some minor damage. Our namesake schooner, The Bluenose II was in drydock in Lunenburg and was not damaged. <br /> <br />Some of the coastal towns east of Halifax really got wailed. Sambro, Herring Cove, Shad bay lost complete wharfs, many smaller fishing boats and a huge amount of gear and lobster traps (lobster season starts in November) <br /> <br />The CN mainline (double track) from Rockingham yard around the Bedford Basin still had the North line blocked by downed power poles, trees etc. on Thursday. This line provides access to the Fairview intermodal terminal, CN's Halifax Intermodal Terminal and Halifax Ocean Terminal. The Dartmouth sub (on the other side of the Bedford Basin connects to the Halifax AutoPort) was closed due to washouts and other damage/debris to the line and row. <br /> <br />Jeff
