3 unusual facts about Ebenezer Moseley


Ebenezer Moseley

After leaving Halifax, bad weather forced them to land near the LaHave river, and the quality of trees there convinced the Moseley's to abandon their trip to Australia and open a shipyard on the spot.

When Ebenezer, known as Eben, was five years old, the family moved to Halifax, Nova Scotia and set up a shipyard in Richmond in the north of Halifax.

The yard operated until Henry's death in 1864, whereupon Eben and his family returned to Halifax and settled in Dartmouth.
