Lonely Planet review

Part of this impressive waterfront Maritime Museum of the Atlantic was a chandlery, where all the gear needed to outfit a vessel was sold. You can smell the charred ropes, cured to protect them from saltwater, and try pumping a hand-operated foghorn. There's a wildly popular display on the Titanic and another on the Halifax Explosion. Outside at the dock you can explore the CSS Acadia, a retired hydrographic vessel from England.

The last WWII corvette HMCS Sackville is docked nearby and staffed by the Canadian Navy.
