- September 1939: Canada declares war ! Halifax’s defences were overhauled once again during World War II. The Fire Command Post was built on Position Hill, the highest point in the fort.
- Here, information from a system of Fortress Observation Posts directed the fire of the harbour defence batteries against attacking ships.
- Below the fort, in the main shipping channel, a heavy wire net prevented submarines from slipping into the harbour.
- The net was protected by York Shore Battery, with its six-pounder guns and three searchlights.
- Fergusons Cove, Nova Scotia, Canada
