Postcard from Canada!

Today I got a nice postcard from Canada! The postcard shows a view of the red and white Sambro Island Light. The lighthouse is located on the entrance to Halifax Harbour in Nova Scotia. It is significant for being the oldest surviving lighthouse in North America. It was built in 1758 during the Seven Years War. Its island was the cause of many shipwrecks so the lighthouse helped prevent many disasters from occurring at the busy harbour. The card was sent from Russia and is an official Postcrossing card, RU-3131400. Thanks Julia!
