Visit the Slocum Boot Shop on Brier Island

The Joshua Slocum Society is restoring a fish house on Brier Island (Nova Scotia, Canada) known as the “Slocum Boot Shop.”   When Joshua Slocum moved to Brier Island when he was 8 years old, his father opened up a cobbler shop to make boots for the local fisherman.  

Part of the new display on Brier Island has been to create a replica boot shop from the 1850s.  In addition, there is information and materials about Joshua Slocum and sailing history.
