MARITIME MUSEUM OF THE ATLANTIC

Located on the Halifax waterfront, this museum incorporates the heritage building known as the William Robertson & Son Ship Chandlery and A.M. Smith and Co. The museum displays the nautical and marine history of Atlantic Canada. Major exhibits include Titanic: The Unsinkable Ship and Halifax; Shipwreck Treasures of Nova Scotia; Halifax Wrecked: The Story of the Halifax Explosion and North Atlantic Convoys. Also features galleries on Days of Sail and Small Craft, the former hydrographic ship CSS Acadia, built in 1913, and a giant lens from North America’s oldest operating lighthouse at Sambro Island. Gift shop on premises. Visit takes approximately 90 minutes. Note: some areas of the museum are currently closed for renovations. As a result, research enquiries and photo orders will be delayed. With the exception of the restored Robertson Chandlery, public galleries remain open. Open daily; closed Monday from November to April. Admission charged.
