In 1811 the Province of Nova Scotia gave a land grant of about 800 acres to six German families who settled there on the rocky shores of the Atlantic Ocean.
Peggy's Cove became a most picturesque settlement so that today Tourism runs a close second to Fisheries as its main industries.

Why no mention of the plane disaster off the coast and the way the community came together to help?
I wonder whether you are confusing the Swissair crash where all aboard died instantly and the community could not do anything to help, with the forced landings of many international flights at Gander, when due to 9/11 all airspayce over USA was closed and many planes had to land and their passengers and crew had to be looked after by the small community of Gander, who invited people into their own homes and fed them for several days.
If I am wrong and there was something similar in Peggy's cove, I would gladly stand corrected.
