Shipwrecks of Halifax Harbour, Nova Scotia, Canada / G.B.J. Fader, R.O. Miller, and B.J. Todd.: M183-2/8958E-PDF
"The mapping of Halifax Harbour has revealed the presence of about 45 shipwrecks in the harbour. Near the mouth of the harbour, over 50 magnetic anomalies have been discovered, most of which represent shipwrecks. There may be many others that are buried beneath the muddy sediments that require other techniques for discovery. Together they represent a rich marine archaeological heritage yet to be fully explored. … The following is a description of some of the larger and more famous shipwrecks in Halifax Harbour. Many other shipwrecks occur throughout the harbour. These include several barges, old scuttled ships in Bedford Basin, a recently discovered copper-clad schooner in The Narrows that may be related to the Halifax Explosion, old ferries, and several others in the Northwest Arm that have not yet been identified"--Introduction.
