Situated in the heart of Halifax’s historic Waterfront, the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic is located on Lower Water Street, at the base of Prince Street. The Museum is also accessible from the Halifax Harbourwalk, a 3-km boardwalk that spans the length of the city’s downtown core.

The Museum is wheelchair accessible, equipped with a passenger elevator, wheelchair accessible stalls in the public washrooms, and automatic doors at two of the main entrances, which were generously donated by the Company of Master Mariners and the Halifax Rotary Club. Wheelchairs are also available to visitors at the Museum’s front desk upon request (limited availability).

Well worth the visit. They've done an excellent job with several different sections. Downstairs is the history of an explosion from two ships that collided in 1917 that destroyed Halifax. Upstairs is a maritime museum and a separate section dedicated to the Titanic. Lots of signage where you take a self-guided tour. Also downstairs before you enter the museum is a hardware ship chandlery. The curator was very knowledgeable answering our every question. Sorry I only took a few misc pictures.
I appreciate the efforts of so many to provide slices of history and other nautical information to the museum! I rarely get there, but I'm so glad to be greeted by that glowing lighthouse light. I've enjoyed it since I was little. Viewing William Hall's cross; looking at more details about the Halifax Explosion, and even checking out a Sable Island monitoring station scavenger, were unforgettable highlights. Get over when you're able. Museum passes are very good for curiosity-quenching times.
I went here for my cadets.nThis place was really nice and very informative with the cool models ships and blocks with history.nWe were also provided with a scavenger hunt with answers that could be found around the place.nTheir was also music and singing upon my visit with small tables with activities.
Amazing experience, was fun to have the opportunity to see it. Not expensive for everyone, free for crew.nnSo many good things to see, and a nice gift shop. I recommend.
Fantastic small museum just by the Halifax waterfront. Really nice staff as well. Open all day till 5pm. They have really great exhibits of different ship reproductions as well as detailed stories on the titanic, the Halifax explosion, as well as treasures from shipwrecks. Great place to visit if you’re ever in the Halifax downtown area.
