- Bluenose II. A replica of the original Bluenose featured on the back of Canadian dimes, spends much of the season in Lunenburg, where she was built. When she's in port, two-hour morning and afternoon cruises are available.
- Sophie McLachlan's grave, Kaulbach Street. In 1879, 14-year-old Sophie McLachlan was accused of stealing $10 from her employer, a significant amount of money at the time. Everyone, including Sophie's own mother believed her accuser. Sophie suffered from increasingly debilitating bouts of anxiety. She always maintained her innocence, and at the end managed to write a letter citing Biblical passages relating to unjust persecution and forgiveness, and stating that she did forgive her accusers. Officially, she died of "a paralyzed heart brought on by extreme agitation and peculiar circumstances" A few months later, due to public interest and the high profile nature of her death, the son of her accusing employer confessed to the theft. Her grave now lies in a pleasant cemetery next to the Lunenburg Academy. There is a marker telling her story along with a wrought iron heart being pulled in two by the chains attaching it to the short fence surrounding her plot.
- 3 St. John's Anglican Church, 64 Townsend St, ☏ +1 902-634-4994. Built in 1753 during the towns founding, the church remains at the center of a vibrant spiritual community today. The church bell was made by the same London foundry responsible for Big Ben and the Liberty Bell. Many wooden beams were reused from the first King's Chapel in Boston, Massachusetts. A significant fire took place in 2001, and the church was later re-opened in 2005. Free. (updated Nov 2022)
