Maritime Museum


I went to the Maritime Museum in Halifax. There were many interesting displays. Survivors and bodies from the Titanic were brought into Halifax and the museum has many artifacts. The poster above is for "the voyage that never happened", the return to Europe of the Titanic. The other big event highlighted at the museum is the explosion in the harbor in 1917 when a fast moving ship collided with a French ship loaded with explosives. Until the atom bomb, that was the largest man-made explosion.
