Swissair Flight 111 Crash Memorial

Located right outside of Peggy's Cove, there is a memorial to those who perished in the Swissair Flight 111 Crash in 1998.  The plane crashed into the sea about 5 miles from shore between the towns of Peggy's Cover & Bayswater.  All 229 of the passengers and crew aboard the flight died and this memorial was created in their honor.  It is a simple memorial, but touching.  It is easy to get to being on Route 333 heading north from Peggy's Cove.  We'd recommend anyone leaving Peggy's Cove heading toward the Lunenburg area make a quick stop here.
