Visit the Museum
The largest and oldest maritime museum in Canada is the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic. A group of Royal Canadian Navy officers are to be attributed with the idea for the Museum, which was to be a maritime museum where artifacts from Canada’s naval history could be preserved.
There is no better place to immerse yourself in Nova Scotia’s rich maritime legacy than the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, which is situated in the center of the city’s historic waterfront.
You’ll learn about the tales, people, and occasions that have come to characterize Nova Scotia and its connection to the sea, from small craft boatbuilding to World War Convoys, the Days of Sail to the Age of Steam, the Titanic to the Halifax Explosion.
