Summary

[edit]
Description The flag pole on the right was used to signal to other forts in the region; the one on the left was used to signal to the population of Halifax when ships were coming into harbor so that they send men down to collect cargo, etc. In the era before telephones or telegraph, these signal poles were the quickest means of communicating economic or military news throughout the city and region.
