Pier 2 in

First World War and suffered damage during the Halifax Explosion
in 1917.

Pier 21 opened in 1928 closer to the mouth of the Halifax Harbour which led to the closing of Pier 2 as an immigration shed.[4] Today Pier 2's location is occupied by HMCS Scotian — whose address is 2111 Upper Water St, Halifax, Nova Scotia[5] — the naval reserve base which is part of CFB Halifax.
