We got there an hour before closing so did not get to see all of this 3 story museum. We did get to go on the boat that is part of this and see how they use to fish, staying out weeks at a time on a schooner. Very informative, but go with plenty of time to walk around.

The staff was incredibly friendly and great to answer questions. We were able to listen to talks about lobster fishing and boat launching during our visit. My kids had fun participating in boat launch demonstration. There was so much to see we forgot to explore the ship outside during the couple hours we were there. My kids also liked the fish facts and spent a lot of their time finding and reading them.

This turned out to be one of the highlights of our Nova Scotia trip, due in no small part to our excellent guide, Kaleb. He made the stories of the dory’s, the cod and haddock, the storms etc., come alive for us. My thirteen year old grandson was mesmerized by the way Kaleb explained the dangers of a life on the sea. This was a very worthwhile visit, but had we just walked through without a guide we would never has gotten as much out of it.

What a wonderful experience! I already posted on Facebook how lovely it was but I felt compelled to write it again! We were a group of three. We enjoyed the museum so much! The tour of the Theresa E. Connor was the highlight of our trip. Our tour guide, Ryan, was very knowledgeable and friendly! Another staff member named Kim had us laughing the whole time ! Excellent staff and full of interesting knowledge !
