The museum has a wide variety of exhibits covering the maritime history of Nova Scotia and Halifax. Ship crews from Halifax recovered bodies of victims of the Titanic and also fished pieces of the ship from the water. Many of the Titanic artifacts are displayed. Another exhibit covers an explosion in the Halifax harbor of a WWII Norwegian munitions ship which killed 2,000 people and destroyed a large portion of the city. Other exhibits are about the Canadian navy, shipwrecks along Nova Scotia’s coast, and the evolution from sail to steam. The CSS Acadia, hydrographic research ship, is located outside at the dock. Tours of the ship are included with museum admission.
The museum is all accessible. The CSS Acadia has a steep ramp with cleating. We didn’t have time to attempt a visit.
Parking is available in several lots along the boardwalk. Smaller RVs will fit by taking up two spaces. Museum
