Maritime Museum of the Atlantic
Visit this waterfront museum for the human stories behind Halifax’s maritime identity. Titanic objects, the Halifax Explosion and CSS Acadia connect ships with lives on shore.
The museum gives the harbour outside a deeper context. Titanic displays focus on Nova Scotia’s role in recovering victims, while the Halifax Explosion galleries bring a maritime disaster into the city itself. The restored Robertson Store adds the everyday business of supplying ships, balancing those major events with working waterfront life.
What to look for
Titanic objects include a surviving wooden deck chair.
The restored Robertson Store shows the world of a ship chandler.
CSS Acadia is a steam-powered survey ship launched in 1913.
Useful to know
Combine the galleries with a waterfront walk to connect the collections to the harbour setting.
