Titanic Remembered: The Unsinkable Ship and Halifax

By Alan Ruffman

The sinking of the ocean-liner Titanic in April of 1912 captured the attention of the world; as the nearest large port to the site of the disaster, Halifax became the focus of the world's grief. 

Today, visitors from around the world go to Halifax to see the many unique artifacts of the sinking in the collection of the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, a permanent exhibit that recounts the story of Titanic and the city's role in the disaster. This book describes the extensive search that followed the sinking and examines how people came to terms with the impact of the sinking. 

Titanic Remembered offers a unique perspective on the Titanic saga, serving as a valuable illustration of the disaster's tragic aftermath.

The big camping experience last winter was spending a night in a yurt at kejimkujik national park. The only problem was finding an open weekend to book one of the two Yurts at the park. With time running out, we booked a single overnight in late March at the Eel Weir Yurt.
