The China Project
Tues. February 19 at 7 pm
This presentation is not about the world's biggest supplier of consumer goods. It's about a group of local scuba divers who spend years picking up broken bits of china throughout Halifax Harbour to document the many shipping lines that traded in and out of our busy harbour. Presenter Bob Chaulk is a scuba diver and one of the first recreational divers to appreciate the historical significance of Halifax Harbour. Free admission with donations to Feed Nova Scotia welcome.
Devour! The Sea Fundraiser

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.
