This retirement gift for
the Director of the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic in Halifax shows the
track of the ferry he took across Halifax Harbour each morning from Dartmouth
on the right, to Halifax, on the left. Below, is what he would see
on a sunny day as he neared the museum in his walk along the waterfront
from the ferry wharf. |

The steamship is the Acadia,
built in 1913, an hydrographic vessel that charted the coasts of Atlantic
Canada for 56 years, now part of the museum collection. The small boat is
the Elson Perry, a replica of the "Medway Boat" that is in the
collection, built by museum staff as a Millennium Project. |
