This camera is atop the
Halifax Cable Wharf, looking north toward the ferry terminal and past
Theodore Tugboat. The ferry will take one across the harbour to Dartmouth, while Theodore Tugboat will take one on a tour of the harbour through the summer season.
Nova Scotia Webcams has more than 70 live cameras broadcasting in HD quality 24/7 year-round. Some update quite frequently, on the order of every 3 to 5 seconds, while others stream live video. To visit a webcam one needs to stand in the field of view for only 10 to 20 seconds to be assured of being captured on several frames. Then, at the webcam's web page one may play back that day's video to capture their image. Playback occurs at the rate of about one frame per second or, in some cases, more. Alternatively, if your phone or tablet is in your hand and tuned to the webcam, a wait of only a few seconds at most is required before you'll appear on your screen.
The Halifax Waterfront
The Cable Wharf - once home to working Cable Ships and also housed cables that were laid on the ocean floor allowing for future communications around the world.
The Halifax Waterfront is both a picturesque destination – and Nova Scotia’s most visited location. Sparkling water, a thriving downtown business core, a working port and harbour traffic combine to make this a natural meeting point for locals and tourists.
Waterfront Development aims to harness the potential of our unique waterfront resources by maximizing public access to the water’s edge and creating memorable spaces and experiences that enrich Nova Scotia’s cultural and economic opportunities year-round.
Theodore Tugboat is a Canadian children’s television series about a tugboat named Theodore who lives in the Big Harbour with all of his friends. The show was produced (and is set) in Halifax. Theodore Too is a large-scale imitation tugboat based on the fictional tugboat Theodore from the television show. The boat was designed by Fred Allen and naval architect Marius Lengkeek of Lengkeek Vessel Engineering, and was built by Snyder’s Shipyard in Dayspring, Nova Scotia, Canada. The vessel has a tonnage of 105 tons, is 65 feet long and powered by a 400 horsepower turbocharged diesel engine.
