The Carleton Martello Tower was built in the 1800s to stand watch over the harbor in Saint John during the War of 1812.


Saint John was settled by British Loyalists who fled the US after the Revolutionary War.  The Loyalist Burial Ground in Uptown Saint John is where many of them were laid to rest.


The Sky Walk in Saint John is built over the Reversing Falls where the Saint John River flows into the Bay of Fundy.


During low tide, the river flows into the bay, and the water is very rough and creates whirlpools.


During high tide, the water at the Reversing Falls flows back into the Saint John River.


Saint John has lots of historic buildings including the Imperial Theatre.


The Loyalist House from the 1800s is a good example of what the colonial architecture was during the British rule of Canada.


The King's Square in Saint John is a large park which has monuments and a large gazebo also.

    Saint John is the capital city in New Brunswick, an Atlantic Province of Canada.  New Brunswick is located on the Bay of Fundy which empties into the Atlantic Ocean.  The city was founded by British Loyalists who fled the US after the Revolutionary War.  I saw lots of historic buildings from the 1800s that are still standing today.  The natural wonders include the Reversing Falls which is when the Saint John River's water flow reverses direction depending on high or low tide.
