Maritime Museum of the Atlantic
Halifax is one of North America’s most important ports. It has often been called to service in military and civilian marine operations. The meseum was established to preserve the city’s proud, though mostly tragic, nautical history. A poignant display recalls the Titanic tragedy, and includes many personal effects that were found floating above the sunken ship.
Peggy’s Cove
It is a 45 minute drive from Halifax to the quaint resort-village of Peggy’s Cove which was established at the beginning of the 19th century. It is a picture perfect community with its lone lighthouse as the main visual attraction. Artists often try to capture its elusive and plaintive beauty. (We visited Peggy’s Cove a few years - really beautiful. At that time the tour also included lobster lunch and a visit to Fairview Cemetery. These are all separate tours now.)
