An Afternoon at the museum

The maritime museum downtown on the waterfront turned out to be a success, and I would definitely go back again. I was given a tour by an older gentleman from England, who was part of the British Navy and spent some time at port in Halifax as well as various other places up the St. Lawrence. He was very knowledgeable and had a friend (also a museum volunteer) that was familiar with Nova Scotia (he'd be in Pictou! as well as Cape Breton, to study some ship building.) He also is a familiar face at the museum in Waipu (that's the double migration settlement of Nova Scotians. He said I'll be a celebrity when I visit there with my accent!) Also my museum tour guide is a crew member on the Daldy! (That was the steamship I stoked coal on a while back) So we had plenty to talk about. Anyway all in all a good afternoon spent at the museum, and learned lots about the shipping past of New Zealand.
