Nova Scotia Cottages and Hotels-Family Museums
Pick a topic and it's almost guaranteed that you will find a museum, or at least an exhibit dedicated to the subject matter in Halifax, Nova Scotia. From ship wrecks to basketball, family friendly Nova Scotia museums cover it all.
Here are a few of the unique and different offerings of Halifax museums including:
Citadel Hill: Where historical reenactments bring soldiers and bagpipers of the Citadel Hill National Historic Site back to life. Realistic costumes complete the experience while waiting for the firing of the Noon Day Gun. Open daily May through October.
Maritime Museum of the Atlantic: Displays a wide variety of historical naval items and features exhibits about the Titanic and the Halifax Explosion, the fishing industry and shipwrecks, the museum offers enough to draw in any visitor. The Theodore Tugboat exhibit based on the television program is designed with the kids in mind. . Afterward, take a trip across the harbor on the Halifax-Dartmouth ferry.
HMCS Sackville: Climb aboard and explore the decks of the HMCS Sackville, a WWII Corvette and floating museum. Moored near the Maritime Museum, the ship is a favorite museum with active hands on kids who love to play.
Nova Scotia Museum of Natural History: This Halifax museum offers programs which are very kid friendly. Just think squishy and creepy things that kids love to touch. There are many touch tanks as well as the museum's resident tortoise, Gus, who captures the imaginations of anyone who see him.
Nova Scotia Sport Hall of Fame: It's all about the game – be it baseball, hockey, or any other sport included in the hall of fame. Kids learn about the many sports stars born in and around Nova Scotia.
Not all Nova Scotia museums are aimed at children. Many are strictly for adults including the Grand Pre Historic Site in rural Annapolis Valley, or the historical homes of Windsor. Maybe a visit is warranted to the Fisheries Museum in Lunenburg. Or how about the Alexander Graham Bell Museum in Cape Breton. There is truly something for everyone.

Flower Class Corvette $157.72 The Flower class corvette was a class of 267 corvettes used during World War II, specifically with the Allied navies as antisubmarine convoy escorts during the Battle of the Atlantic. Several vessels saw service with the United States Navy where they were known as Actionclass patrol gunboats . The majority served during World War II with the Royal Navy (RN) and Royal Canadian Navy (RCN), with some being built for, or transferred to, other Allied navies such as the United States Navy (USN) (where some were manned by the U.S. Coast Guard), the Free French Naval Forces, the Royal Netherlands Navy, the Royal Norwegian Navy, the Royal Indian Navy, the Royal Hellenic Navy, the Royal New Zealand Navy and, immediately postwar, the South African Navy. Several ships built largely in Canada were transferred between the USN and RN under the lendlease program, seeing service in both navies. After World War II many surplus Flowerclass vessels saw use in nonAllied navies the world over, as well as civilian use. HMCS Sackville (K181) is the only member of the class to be preserved as a museum ship.

Corvettes Canada $39.95 The Canadian escort group C 2 was comprised of the RCN destroyers Gatineau and Chaudiere, the frigate St. Catharines, the Corvettes Chilliwack and Fennel, and the RN destroyer Icarus. these six and the RN corvette Kenilworth castle combined to sing U-744 in the North Atlantic in a prolonged drama on March 5 and 6, 1944. At 32 hours, this the second-longest successful hunt of the war. Chilliwack able seaman Ralph Chartrand recalls the action: When the sub started to surface, everything that could shoot went into action and we fired all we could. While the crew of U-744 was jumping out of the conning tower, St. Catharines was closing in, but our captain outmanoeuvred Chilliwack in front to make sure that this was our sub. He gave the order "Prepare to ram," but soon the sub was empty, so we didn't ram. We lowered a lifeboat with a boarding party and they proceeded to U-744. While the lifeboat was tied to the sub, some members boarded the sub. then a big wave hit our lifeboat and flipped the crew into the water with the German Sailors. We took 17 prisoners on board. It was almost a major coup. Three lifeboats reached the Type VII C boat. German code books and the cypher machine were seized, but all three seaboats capsized in the rough sea and only one book was saved. All the Canadians were picked up. So, too, were 40 Germans. Icarus then dispatched the unsalable U-744 with a torpedo. Eleven Germans died, including the captain. Praise for Corvettes Canada. "It was the ubiquitous corvette, built in Canada, manned by volunteers and often as not based in a Canadian or Newfoundland port, that carried the burden of our Atlantic war...and few wartime sailors escaped at least some time aboard them. "For the most part, their experiences have gone unrecorded--especially those of the lower deck--and time will soon erase what the enemy and the sea itself could not. Fortunately, Mac Johnston has salvaged the experiences of 250 of these fast-departing corvette veterans, and has drawn their story together into a superb collective memoir of the Atlantic war. "Johnston has woven these memories...and the history of the wartime RCN into a tight fabric, one that is both entertaining and extremely valuable. If you have never read anything on the Canadian navy's part in the Battle of the Atlantic, start with this one; if you've read everything that's already available, you will find this one a gem." -- Marc Milner, University of New Brunswick   "I like your presentation. It's right from the horse's mouth so to speak. It is so authentic, I say it is a classic. It's as true a story as can be told. Corvette men who read your book, contributors or not, will marvel at your format and will live again the tortures of the Atlantic, the friendship of shipmates, the action stations alarm bell and the roar of depth changes... "Your book proves that these Corvette men were tough to stand the day-to-day tensions, rough seas, dangers and the boredom that was part |
