Between 1928 and 1971, nearly one million immigrants landed in Canada at Pier 21 in Halifax, Nova Scotia. During those years, it was one of the main ocean immigration facilities in Canada, including when it welcomed home nearly 400,000 Canadians after service overseas during the Second World War. In the immediate postwar period, Pier 21 became the busiest ocean port of entry in the country.
Today, people across Canada still enjoy connections to Pier 21 through family history and stories of arrival at the site. Since 1998, researchers at the Pier 21 Interpretive Centre and now the Canadian Museum of Immigration have been conducting interviews, reviewing archival materials, gathering written stories, and acquiring photographs, documents, and other objects reflecting the history of Pier 21.
Pier 21: A History builds upon the resulting collection. It presents a history of this important Canadian ocean immigration facility during its years of operation and later emergence as a site of public commemoration.
Published in English. Also available in French: Quai 21: Une histoire.
Entre 1928 et 1971, presque un million d’immigrants sont arrivés par bateau au Canada, plus précisément au Quai 21, situé à Halifax en Nouvelle-Écosse. Durant toute cette période, le Quai 21 fut une des principales « portes d’entrée du Canada » ; ce fut aussi le point de débarquement de presque 400 000 soldats canadiens qui rentraient au pays après avoir effectué leur service militaire en Europe durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Dans la période de l’immédiat après-guerre, le Quai 21 est devenu la porte d’entrée maritime la plus active au Canada.
Aujourd’hui encore, de nombreux Canadiens entretiennent des liens particuliers avec le Quai 21, et ce, à travers leurs antécédents familiaux ou les récits d’arrivée de leurs parents sur le site du Quai 21. Depuis 1998, les chercheurs du Centre d’interprétation du Quai 21 et du Musée canadien de l’immigration ont mené de très nombreuses entrevues, examiné d’innombrables documents d’archives, compilé des récits écrits par des immigrants et acquis des photographies, des documents et d’autres objets emblématiques de l’histoire du Quai 21.
Pier 21: A History est le produit de ce long et patient travail de collecte. Il nous révèle l’histoire de cet immense hangar maritime canadien durant ses années d’activité et, ultérieurement, en tant que lieu historique national, musée et site mémoriel ouvert au grand public.
Publié en anglais. Également disponible en français : Quai 21: Une histoire.

Steven Schwinghamer est historien au Musée canadien de l’immigration. Titulaire d’unemaîtriseen histoire de l’Université Saint Mary’s, ses recherches et écrits se portent sur le complexe d’immigration du Quai 21. Steven Schwinghamer is a historian at the Canadian Museum of Immigration and holds an MA in History from Saint Mary’s University. His research and writing focuses on the immigration facility at Pier 21.
Halifax’s Pier 21 is a place of beginnings. Between 1928 and 1971, almost one million immigrants entered Canada at the site. This includes those who arrived when immigration was restricted during the Great Depression, those who arrived as refugees or displaced persons after the Second World War, and those who arrived in the later years of relative economic prosperity in Canada. These people began new chapters in their lives at Pier 21.
