Stanley Park - Brockton Point

Every day without fail an old cannon known as the 9 O'Clock Gun is fired from its position near the tip of Brockton Point in Stanley Park. Manufactured in England in 1815 it was brought to Vancouver in the late 19th c. and used to be fired at 6pm to signal the end of the fishing day.

From Brockton Point (lighthouse) there are fine views of the Lions Gate Bridge and the port of Vancouver. The cross commemorates the victims of a 1906 shipwreck.
