The Maritime Museum of the Atlantic is a member institution of the Nova Scotia Museum and is the oldest and largest maritime museum in Canada with a collection of over 30,000 artifacts including 70 small craft and one ship: the CSS Acadia, a 180 foot steam-powered hydrographic survey ship launched in 1913. Some of the Theodore Tugboat TV models are on display here. Others are part of the museum's collection but are in storage. The Museum itself appears in the Theodore Tugboat series as an accurate model of the museum's south wing and anchor yard.
