Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic, Maritime museum in Lunenburg, Canada
The Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic contains extensive exhibits about fishing methods, marine life, and traditional seafaring practices in bright red buildings along the waterfront.
Founded in 1967, the museum occupies a former fish processing plant and features the Theresa E Connor, the last Grand Banks fishing schooner from Lunenburg's fleet.
Former fishermen serve as heritage interpreters, sharing their personal experiences and knowledge about maritime traditions with museum visitors throughout the operating season.
The museum opens from mid-May through mid-October, with admission prices ranging from 4 dollars for youth to 30 dollars for family tickets.
The Salt Store building, constructed in 1899, formerly stored salt for fish preservation and now functions as the museum's gift shop.
