This museum has a permanent Titantic exhibit.

The exhibit features wooden artifacts collected at the scene of the disaster, including one of the only Titanic deck chairs known to exist.

Something for the little ones!

Theodore Tugboat Exhibit


The Museum continues to present the popular exhibit Theodore Tugboat based on the actual models and sets used in the Theodore Tugboat television series. Young visitors can meet their favourite characters and see the Big Harbour. Altogether, more than 20 models are on display, including Theodore, Digby the Cable Ship and Barrington Barge. An exciting and entertaining experience for children and adults alike, the exhibit helps to explain how a busy harbour works.

I would love to go there, I could kick myself for not visiting when I lived in Mass and NH, I didn't know it was there!!

My Signature Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me! I want people to know why I look this way. I've traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved.

There is now a boardwalk running along the water from where the cruise ships tie up to the Museum (and past it). On a nice day, many passengers make take this walk.

That sounds nice!
Maybe we'll soon have a first hand report from some CLFer who has visited there!

Have you been, Beyond?

My Turf

I am very new to these boards but I work for Tourism in Halifax if you think I can add anything. Looks pretty thorough.
