From 1928 to 1971, Pier 21 in Halifax served as the front door to Canada, the entryway through which more than 1.5 million people passed. A legion of volunteers, medical staff, and immigration personnel kept vigil at the pier, greeting and directing the human tide that flowed and ebbed through its doors. Beginning with the first wave of European settlers and the early problems of quarantine, Pier 21 is a moving account of the human drama that unfolded at this historic site.
