Maritime Museums of the World: with some connections to Yarmouth and Nova Scotia…or not
Tuesday, May 14 at 7 pm (Free Admission)
Eric Ruff is the Curator Emeritus of the Yarmouth County Museum. His talk will show how the collections of maritime museums around the world are frequently connected to artifacts in far off places … such as Halifax and Yarmouth. Niels Jannasch, the former director of the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic will feature significantly in Eric’s talk.
Maritime Museum of the Atlantic
Located in the heart of Halifax’s waterfront, there’s no better place to immerse yourself in Nova Scotia’s rich maritime heritage than the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic.
From small craft boatbuilding to World War Convoys, the Days of Sail to the Age of Steam, the Titanic to the Halifax Explosion, you’ll discover the stories, events and people that have come to define Nova Scotia and its relationship with the sea.
