Maritime Museum of the Atlantic

The Maritime Museum of the Atlantic is located right in the middle of the Halifax Harbourwalk, making it a convenient walk from a cruise ship. The museum has artifacts from the Titanic which is my primary interest in it.

The CSS Acadia and HMCS Sackville are docked out front and can be viewed without purchasing a ticket. A ticket is required to tour the ships.

HCMS Sackville served during WWII and is the world’s last surviving corvette class ship.  Admission is $10 for adults and $7 for children.

They have a propeller from the Sackville on display by the streetside entrance to the museum.

The CSS Acadia is a research ship that was designed to operate in icy conditions along the northern coast of Canada. It was in operation from 1913-1969.

There are a plethora of Cunard artifacts upstairs. I’m running short on time before the museum closes so I’m going to look for really old artifacts and then get myself over to the Titanic section.

Now we’re getting to the Titanic section.

This is a reproduction of a Titanic deck chair that you can actually sit on.

They have the entrances closed off so I’m going to have to get out of here soon.

There is an outdoor break area up here.

The place has cleared out so I’m going to head that way.
