Another adventure in Halifax is behind me. I was fortunate this trip that I did have a wee bit of free time yesterday morning to do some sightseeing. I went and toured the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic down on Lower Water Street.
While not the biggest museum you’ll ever visit, it does contain two interesting exhibits – one on the Halifax Explosion of 1917 (which, up to the time the atomic bomb was dropped on the Hiroshima, was the single largest man-made explosion ever recorded); the other on the Titanic.
If you’re ever in Halifax, the Museum is worth a 30 minute visit if only to see these two exhibits.
1) Maritime Museum of the Atlantic; 2) a real Titanic deck chair (one of the few actually recovered)

canadian history seems very remote to me
ryc: that’s for SURE~!!! =P
I have always wanted to do East Canada
Nice you could see so much you wanted to. And that chair…….I found one in the attic of my old apartment that had the same style……..glad I kept it. Must be the style of that period.

ok, I’ll remember the place if I go there. =)
Well, it sounds like you got a little more free time on this trip. Usually your schedule is packed.
i’m glad you got to enjoy the locale’s offerings for once!! it seems like it’s always go-go-go for you when you visit. i am excited about 12/8 – whatever it is that you have planned! and yes, you are dead-on in your guesses re: my christmas wish list.
