While in Nova Scotia, we learned all about the rich history of Wedgeport, a now-sleepy fishing village that, once upon a time, hosted celebrities, trail-blazing fishermen (and women) and as many as twenty-eight different countries during its annual International Tuna Cup. The match was held from 1937 to 1976, and put Wedgeport on the map.
Though it no longer stakes claim to the title of sport tuna fishing capitol of the world, Wedgeport is still quite the little mecca, and continues to attract Anglers from across North America to its Tuna Tournament & Festival each year. If you’re just dying to hear more (I know you are) you can read all about it at the museum’s website, and even take a virtual tour.
This is it for my Nova Scotia ramblings, I promise, but if you ever get a chance, go… I mean it. In case it wasn’t obvious, Wedgeport kind of stole my heart.
