Royal Naval Dockyard, Halifax, Naval historic site in Halifax, Canada
The Halifax Dockyard extends along the waterfront from Barrington to Upper Water Streets, featuring numerous maritime facilities and administrative buildings dedicated to naval operations.
Established in 1759 under Captain James Cook's supervision, this Royal Navy facility served as the primary naval base for British operations in North America during multiple conflicts.
The Maritime Command Museum, housed in the former Admiral's Residence from 1816, displays artifacts and documents chronicling the naval heritage of Halifax.
The dockyard continues to function as an active naval base for the Royal Canadian Navy's Atlantic Fleet, providing maintenance services and docking facilities.
The original Naval Yard clock stands at the Halifax Ferry Terminal entrance while the historic yard bell remains preserved at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic.
