I guess this is not for everyone but is extremely intresting for people who have a fascination with the sea. The museum is well laid out and easy to get around. The museum was holding a rope wreath making workshop at the time of my visit which cost $12 for materials and instructions. A small shop can be found in the museum which sells books, posters, t-shirts and general tourist trinkets.

The Maritime Museum of the Atlantic is a must-see collection for those who love ships of the sea. There is a fabulous group of large-scale models, along with video programs on many historic Halifax region disasters over the years -- only one of which was the Titanic. The rich 250-year history of Halifax as a hard-working shipping port is is excellently recounted at this museum and it is background that is critical to truly understanding the significance of this important front door to Canada.
