GWX 2.0 Halifax port placement

First let me say that the mod is fantastic, since downloading, I have not looked back, and am new GWX convert. The only gripe I personally see is the harbor placement for Halifax, Nova Scotia; docks and port facilities. It's not even close...... I am only going by what the game map shows me is the port facilities location, as I have yet to sail there yet in the game. The map views shows the dockyards placed on the island at the mouth of the harbor, which is McNab's island. This is not accurate. McNab's island held gun casements, and observation posts during the war, but wasn't, and still is not populated to this day. The commercial, and naval docks are on the Halifax peninsula a few km's inland towards the Bedford Basin. I'm not taking anything away from the mod designers here, but I have lived in hfx for 42 years. I think this is important, as those who wish to try to penetrate the port have what seems wide open access to the harbors mouth. In truth the only way in or out of hfx harbor then and now is the narrow channel between McNab's island and Chebucto head. This distance is at best 1-2 kms wide, and during the war was sub netted, and under constant watch. Not to mentioned riddled with shoals. Just wanted to help. Thanks Ted.
