This is a wonderful museum on the Halifax waterfront. There is a lot of interesting information on shipwrecks, the Titanic, the Halifax Explosion and the history of sailing and shipbuilding. There are full size ships on display. The staff are very friendly and the museum is well laid out. I find that the facility is just the right size for... More

The museum is well laid out and contains many interesting exhibits. I've been to Halifax many times but I learned new things about the city's history at this museum, particularly about the 1917 explosion which leveled a large part of the city. I love museums, and this is about the best Halifax has to offer.

A must for all lovers of the sea. In addition to the Titanic display, the exhibits pretty much cover the sailing history of North America. Wonderful collection of ships in bottles and many artifacts from actual vessels.

We had a great time learning about the rich history of the Halifax harbor. They also give a discount on admission to CAA members.

The museum also has spaces devoted to pirates, treasure hunting and scale models boats. Say hello to the museum mascot, Merlin the parrot for... More

We have visited this museum as a family, couple and I have gone by myself. Although many displays are permanent, there always seems to be something new to catch my eye or peek my interest. The March Break pirate event is a perennial favourite with the younger children. I was amazed at the number of little ones in costume. My... More
