Meteghan, Nova Scotia
The Village of Meteghan is centered on the fishing industry. The
local wharf is home to scallop draggers, trawlers, herring seiners,
and ground fish and lobster boats. The A.F. Theriault Shipyard in
Meteghan River is one of the largest shipyards in Atlantic Canada.
As a result of Meteghan’s ocean-oriented lifestyle, rum running
became rampant here during the 1920s. There is even a “Smuggler’s
Cove,” so named as its ocean-carved cave was a favorite location to
hide contraband during prohibition.
