Lady Vanessa Fisheries Exhibit


A Unique Fisheries Exhibit Set in a Retired Scallop Vessel

Digby's link to it's heritage. A 98' fishing vessel built locally at AF Theriault's in Meteghan, Nova Scotia and fished throughout the Maritimes. Christened the 'Jane R,' she called Lunenburg, Nova Scotia home until she was restored, renamed and relocated to Digby in 1994. She is now permantly mounted and accessible for your enjoyment from Digby's "Waterfront Boardwalk".

Sit and relax in the theatre and enjoy our 35 min. video featuring rare footage, seldom seen even by local fisherman! Underwater scenes of how a lobster enters a trap, how scallops and fish are caught. Yes, you go underwater and see for yourself! You won't have any more questions after viewing it!
