HALIFAX — The Nova Scotia government says it’s making repairs to a vessel that survived the Halifax Explosion.
The announcement came Thursday as Halifax marked the 101st anniversary of the massive blast that occurred when two wartime ships collided in Halifax harbour, killing almost 2,000 people.
The province says restoration work on the CSS Acadia will include drydocking the vessel to repair the hull, electrical systems and ballast tank.
The 105-year-old steel-hulled ship is a national historic site that is permanently moored at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic in Halifax.
It is the last vessel to have served the Royal Canadian Navy during both world wars.

The more ships we can add to the Canadian Navy on a budget, the better.

We could give them cross country skies and have them stay in port when the ice is out. Only the crooks get fast boats so we weren't catching anybody anyway. Norway has one for sale. The one in Halifax probably has a sounder hull. lol
