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).

I am no ship buff but on a rainy day, this seemed like a place to visit. This museum offers a fantastic display of model ships of every possible kinds, big and small, including tons of ships relics in lightly dimmed displays (for preservation), stories on sunken ships and their lost crew, the latest information on the Franklin expedition, and lots of small sized boats on display. I agree that the Titanic exhibit, although interesting enough, is not it's main attraction, but judging it by the lack of relics is a tall order considering they come at a market premium, and are quite unnecessary to the story. And what the museum may lack in Titanic relics, it more than makes up for it with the Halifax explosion relics and moving stories of survival. Well worth the visit as long as your kids are above 12 years of age and can appreciate it.

One of the museums my mom waned to see in our visit of Maritime Canada was this one. To see the Titanic exhibit. Which turned out to be somewhat tiny and disappointing. The rest of the museum was interesting - the exhibit on the Halifax explosion was very interesting but felt very small for the size of the building. I think it was because of the full size boats taking up a lot of the space. Either way it only took us a hour, I believe, which was good because we had a hard time finding it to start with so we didn't have much time left.

I appreciated this place so much! I'm very interested in history and this place definitely fed my appetite! There's so much to learn. To add, the museum is attached to a board walk where actual floating ships can be viewed and where soldiers in the past took their final steps onto the ships, not knowing whether they'll be coming back or not. I enjoyed the Titanic Exhibit as well. There's lots to see in here and it doesn't disappoint the naval and maritime junkie.

A MUST SEE in the city of Halifax. To miss this is to miss a great opportunity to learn about Halifax, the port and how it affected all of Canada. The Titanic display is sombre and yet inspiring to read about as you walk through the displays. I guarantee you will also learn more about the great Halifax explosion than in every history lesson you ever took. The stories are incredible.

Only $10 and a great little spot to visit. From models to relics to treasures, this is a nice piece of Canadian history and there's even a Titanic section. Make sure to go on a day there's no cruise ship in the harbour or it will be crowded.
