Google Earth is the best. It's easy to spend a lot of time on there. CSS Acadia, and HMCS Sackville K-181, with Theodore Too (no longer at Halifax) in the middle, all alongside here in Halifax, Nova Scotia. ๐Ÿ™‚โค๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆโš“ @RoyalCanNavy @CssAcadia @TheodoreTugboat @HMCSSACKVILLE1

The level of work required to keep a warship from the First & Second World Wars shipshape is immense. A huge shout out to all those who give so much time and effort to keep naval history alive. ๐Ÿ™‚โค๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ @CssAcadia @HMCSSACKVILLE1 @USSTexasBB35

Restoring HMS Caroline to a single moment in time was a huge challenge. Priority was given to preserving original structures from World War One... but also reflecting her many years in Belfast. Take the tour this weekend. HMS Caroline is open Wednesday to Sunday, 10am - 4.30pm

One of the most important ships in Canadian history, @CssAcadia is flying the White Ensign this week with its wartime pennant number Z00. This ship has a long distinguished career in Canadian government service & commissioned into the @RoyalCanNavy during both World Wars.

To pull off an event like @hfxfleetweek it takes a village. Our village consists of many community partners & sponsors, and all 3 levels of government working together. @MikeSavageHFX @nsgov @JohnLohrPC @AndyFillmoreHFX @BillBlair @RoyalCanNavy @BuildNovaScotia @hfxnovascotia
