Lonely Planet review for Maritime Command Museum

The Admiral of the British navy for all of North America was based in Halifax until 1819 and threw grand parties at Admiralty House, now the Maritime Command Museum. Apart from the beautiful Georgian architecture, the museum is worth a visit for its eclectic collections: cigarette lighters, silverware and ships' bells, to name a few. One notable bell is a cracked specimen from the victorious Shannon, which took the USS Chesapeake in a famous skirmish of the War of 1812.
