After breakfast we had a lecture by  local historian Dr. James White – pretty good stuff that included some geology, oceanography, and local history. Then we boarded the bus (piloted by our very own driver Doris) where the Dr. White took us on a guided tour of town.

This being Halifax, there was a mandatory stop at the cemetery where most of the recovered bodies from the Titanic are buried.

Dr. White talked about several of the victims

The tour ended at the Maritime museum where we had another lecture – maritime history of Halifax, and a guided tour of the museum.

Then it was lunch time. We repaired to a pub across the street for an excellent lunch and better beer. Then it was back to the museum to pick up a few more pieces of info and a walk down the harbor to the ferry terminal where we boarded a ferry to cross the harbor to the city of Danforth on the other side.

We tooled around the waterfront there for a bit and then ferried back to Halifax where we caught a city bus back to the hotel for a nap.

Dinner was at a waterfront restaurant and we returned home to pack, blog, and head for bed.

Tomorrow we break camp and head up the country for more scholarly pursuits.
