	Pier 21 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pier 21 is located in Halifax, Nova Scotia in the Halifax Ocean Terminals, near the South End Container Terminal.
		During its period of operation as a passenger terminal for trans-Atlantic ocean liners from 1928 to 1971, it was known as the 'Gateway to Canada'.
		A mostly dormant warehouse since the end of trans-Atlantic ocean liner service in the 1950s-1960s, Pier 21 was renovated and reopened as a Canadian National Historic Site in 1999.

	Pier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Longer individual piers are often found at ports with large tidal ranges, with the pier stretching far enough off shore to reach deep water at low tide.
		Early pleasure piers were of wooden construction, with iron structures being introduced with the construction in 1855 of Margate Jetty, in Margate, England.
		The first recorded pier in the UK was Ryde Pier, opened in 1814 on the Isle of Wight, as a working pier to allow ferries to and from the mainland to berth.

		Every November, Herman Newman prayed at a pier without peer, a sea-worn symbol of a place on Canada's Atlantic coast that represented both the sorrow of his past and the hope of his future.
		For decades, Newman visited the docks at Pier 21 as one would a shrine, a journey to an abandoned pigeon- and rat-infested immigrant shed in Nova Scotia that for 43 years was Canada's Ellis Island.
		So when Newman heard that the abandoned pier would be re-opened as a national museum in July 1999, he told his wife that only death would keep him away from the opening ceremony.
