Maritime Museum of the Atlantic

Right in the center of the waterfront of Halifax, the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic is a tribute to the city of Halifax's history as a bustling seaport.  This museum features various exhibits on shipwrecks, but the most popular is of course the Titanic, which is now honoring the 100th anniversary of the sinking.  This new, permanent exhibit shows various artifacts recovered from the ship - like jewelry, shoes, china, wreckwood and more - along with a history of the ship and how Halifax contributed to the rescue and recovery efforts.

Another key feature to the museum is the talking parrot, Merlin, who'll spout out phrases such as "Polly want a cracker" and "Peak a boo".  There is even a cat on the grounds and when he comes near Merlin, the parrot will say "Here Kitty, Kitty".

This is definitely a must-visit for anyone coming to the Halifax waterfront and for all Titanic or shipwreck aficionados.
