South Maitland is an unincorporated community in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, located in East Hants Municipality in Hants County.[1][2] The community was one of the stops on the Shubenacadie Canal system and the site of a number of 19th century shipyards including the yard that built the barque Calburga in 1890, the last large square rigger to sail under a Canadian flag. The village is best known for the historic bridge built over the Shubenacadie River by the Midland Railway, part of the Dominion Atlantic Railway in 1901.[3] Demolished in the 1990s, a surviving abutment of the railway bridge was retrofitted in 2006 by the Fundy Tidal Interpretive Centre as a lookoff and walking trail showcasing the tides of the Shubenacadie River. A decommissioned railway caboose is also preserved beside the trail.[4]
