Liverpool, Nova Scotia was built by sea-going vessels, plying to and fro to many parts of the world.\u00a0 There have been\u00a0dangers for many of these vessels,\u00a0from the time of Simeon Perkins to the present day.

The Township of Liverpool and surrounding areas, including Port Joli,\u00a0Port L’Hebert, Township of Guysborough (Port Mouton), Dean’s Landing (now Bristol, part of Liverpool), depended on travel by sea. The road connecting Liverpool and Shelburne, through Beech Hill Farms, was not started until about 1785.<\/p>\n

At the present time, 1993,\u00a0 Liverpool has ships in for refitting as there were during World War II.<\/p>\n

Three\u00a0names made famous in shipping\u00a0history are the Packet, Rover\u00a0and Markland, plus the many merchant marine vessels.<\/p>\n

There are many more various types of shipping connected with the history of Liverpool, Nova Scotia – we are proud of our history!<\/p>\n

Throughout\u00a0 the\u00a0 pages of\u00a0 The Diary of Simeon Perkins there are many family surnames familiar to us in 1993 in Liverpool, Nova Scotia. Not all the surnames have been included – many “old” names either moved away,\u00a0descendants\u00a0have died,\u00a0no sons to carry on the names or other reason.\u00a0Some names are listed on many pages, e.g. Collins, Doggett so the Surname Indexing will not be complete due to space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
