Swissair Flight 111 Memorial

Quiet coastal memorial to the 229 people lost when Swissair Flight 111 crashed offshore.

The Whalesback memorial north of Peggy's Cove marks one side of the triangle between the crash site and the second memorial at Bayswater. Swissair Flight 111 went down offshore on 2 September 1998, killing everyone aboard.

It is a sober stop rather than a major sight, but the setting is powerful: stone, sea, and the open Atlantic where the disaster happened.
