Hear the creak of a ship's rigging, smell the sharp odour of pine tar, feel the comfort of a deck chair from Titanic, or picture yourself floating above the remnants of an 18th century shipwreck. Throughout the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, you can immerse yourself in the stories that define Nova Scotia's maritime history located on Halifax's historic waterfront.
Explore the museum's exhibits and galleries, including North Atlantic Convoys, Titanic, the Halifax Explosion, the Days of Sail, the Age of Steam, Nova Scotia Small Craft, the restored early 20th century ship chandlery of William Robertson and Son, and Shipwreck Treasures of Nova Scotia.
The collection includes artifacts, images, and charts and plans relating to the marine history of Nova Scotia. The Royal Canadian Navy, Canadian merchant marine, Nova Scotia small craft and local shipwrecks are particular strengths of the collection, much of which represents the period 1850 to present.
You'll also discover everything from sextants, binnacles and figureheads to small craft, anchors, armaments and marine portraits and our largest artifact, the 1913 hydrographic vessel CSS Acadia.
For a truly seaworthy experience, visit the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic.
