Port Dalhousie John Iwan Hartig

Port Dalhousie is actually a suburb of St. Catharines. This quaint little town is renowned for its 2 lighthouses, 2 piers, lots of sailboats...and of course, craft shops. Port Dalhousie hosts the Royal Canadian Henley Regatta inviting rowers from all over the world. This event has been happening for almost 100 years! The Port is a great place to picnic, to watch sailboats, bicycle, take long walks along the pier and photograph the two lighthouses there. There's also a great beach on the north side and a carousel for families with kids. The carousel might be on hold for a while because the town is undergoing renovations. It would be a shame to lose the carousel which has entertained families since 1921. The piers themselves are under construction. But don't worry; there are still lots to see while the town is getting a new facelift. John Hartig hopes you enjoy this Photobook of Port Dalhousie, a labour of love which shows some of the choice photos of the Port that John has gathered over the past two decades.
