The Maritime Museum of the Atlantic on Halifax's waterfront is a treasure trove of seafaring history, with over 30,000 artifacts. Its most poignant exhibits include a collection of Titanic memorabilia, such as a deck chair and wooden fragments from the ship, as well as stories of Halifax's role in the disaster. Another powerful exhibit details the 1917 Halifax Explosion, the largest man-made blast before Hiroshima. Visitors can also explore the CSS Acadia, a 1913 hydrographic survey ship docked outside.
