斯必尔角 Cape Spear National Historic Site, Newfoundland and Labrador

在课业还不太忙时,我们这学期的交换生来个一日游!我们租了学生巴士,一个人收费CAD$30。 第一站就到著名的斯必尔角 (Cape Spear National Historic Site),这可是北美大陆最东端,必到的历史古迹景点。出游配上蓝天白云是最好不过了!

这座斯必尔角耸立于北美大陆的最东端,建于1836年,是纽芬兰唯一幸存历史最古来的灯塔。它代表着纽芬兰的水手历史,也是那时期所拥有的奇特建筑风格。它,也经历了世界大战II。加拿大和美国人守在这里保护自己的家园。如今看到的是经恢复后的1955的原貌,并展示看灯人在19世纪的生活。在春天还会在塔的周围看到鲸鱼,海鸟,冬天看到冰山。


 一片蓝蓝的茫茫大海在石山的围绕下,特显大自然的壮观。

"Constructed in 1836, the Cape Spear Lighthouse represents the unique architecture of lighthouse construction during this era. The structure consists of a stone light tower surrounded by the light keeper's residence. In 1955, a new light house tower was built on the site using the active light from the original lighthouse. 

The human side of Cape Spear tells the story of the Cantwell family. Generations of this famous family of light keepers resided a Cape Spear for over 150 years and worked tirelessly to maintain a light so vital t mariners. Step inside he restored lighthouse and discover the true life of a 19th-century lighthouse keeper. 

Journey back in time and explore he remnants of the sites World War II coastal defence battery - Fort Cape Spear. Walk in the footsteps of Canadian and American soldiers as they guarded St. John's from attack from lurking German U-boats."

阳光。蓝天。背影。

背向大海,北美洲的全部人口就在你的西边
面向大海,爱尔兰就在你的东边
