Swiss Air Monument and Peggy's Cove

(Delayed posting. Visited during summer 2024)

At the Swissair Memorial Site, near Peggy's Cove, there is a small park in memory of those passengers who lost their lives on Swissair 111, 2nd September in 1998. Although it crashed 8 km offshore, this place is important for the friends and relatives of those who perished as well as those who worked to retrieve the bodies for those same friends and relatives.




I've been to Peggy's cove many times in my life. Its always good to come back once in a while. The below Fishermen's monument was initially made by William E. deGarthe. I remember coming here in the 70's and 80's and seeing the additions and changes over time.


Below are some photos of the villiage of Peggy's Cove.
