Maritime Museum of the AtlanticThis museum has one of Canada's finest collections of both ship
models and ship portraits, the world's largest collection of wooden
artefacts from the Titanic, some rare and beautiful examples of
unique Nova Scotian boatbuilding traditions in its small craft
collection, and a collection of about 24,000 marine photographs,
some dating from the 19th century. The collections span days of
sail, shipwreck treasures, naval World War II convoys, the age of
steam and the opportunity to explore the 1913-built ship, CSS
Acadia, at the dockside. The Museum also has a large collection of
genealogical resources, including journals, diaries, ship's logs,
shipping registers and a library containing more than 5,000 books
relating to shipping.
