Lonely Planet review for Maritime Museum of the Atlantic

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.

    Worth a visit

    vipa recommends this,

    I was going to skip the Maritime Museum, but ended up going on a rainy day. I was pleasantly surprised by the depth and variety of the exhibits. It's worthy of many hours of exploring even without going on the CSS Acadia (it was raining too hard the day I went).
