Note:

During World War II, the coastal areas of Nova Scotia—especially around Cape Breton Island and the Sydney Harbour—were highly critical strategic positions. The area served as a primary gathering hub for transatlantic supply convoys heading to Europe.

To protect the harbour, shipping lanes, and vital local infrastructure from German U-boats or potential air raids, anti-aircraft installations and artillery batteries were established along the coast.
