Halifax, Nova Scotia: Our first stop was Halifax, the capital of Nova Scotia. **
After a beautiful summer day in New York, the weather deteriorated. It rained our first day at sea. It continued raining when we reached Halifax. It was cold and rainy until noon. We went to the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic to get out of the rain. It's a very interesting museum on the popular waterfront. The main exhibits are the devastated explosion that destroyed the whole town in December 1917 and the Titanic rescue attempts and Titanic artifacts.
