Fairview Cemetery
Cemeteries, Halifax
Fodor's Review:
This cemetery is the final resting place of 121 victims of the Titanic. The graves are easily found, in a graceful arc of granite tombstones. One grave -- marked J. Dawson -- attracts particular attention from visitors, though it's not the fictional Minnesota artist featured in the 1998 film, but James Dawson, a coal trimmer from Ireland. Nineteen other victims are buried in Mount Olivet Catholic Cemetery, 10 in the Baron de Hirsch Jewish Cemetery. The Maritime Museum of the Atlantic has an exhibit about the disaster.
