It's hard to believe it's been 108 years since the sinking of RMS Titanic, and 35 years since oceanographers discovered its wreckage. 🛳️
It's even harder to believe it's been almost 23 years since Kate and Leo stole our hearts in James Cameron's epic romance! 💞🎥
#OnThisDay in 1985, oceanographers Robert Ballard and Jean-Louis Michel discovered the wreck of the #Titanic in the North Atlantic seabed

The 335m long KYOTO EXPRESS passes under the @hfxharbourbridges with clearance of 1.52m. To allow this to happen, it requires precise information provided to the Pilot from the Captain, as well as clearance with the @portofhalifax using an Air Gap Measurement System.#marinepilot

…
Gilbert was presented with a dog he called Stella, after the North Star. 🐕🌠
#DYK, the August holiday in Nova Scotia was partially intended to mark the completion of a new rail line in 1895. 🛤️ Unfortunately, the train was late—it didn't arrive until 1896! 🚂
Our office will be closed on August 3. We'll be back at 8 am on Tuesday... right on time! 🕗
A properly functioning smoke detector helps protect your furry friends and family, too! #PetFireSafetyDay
It’s National Pet Fire Safety Day! We invite you to share photos of the pets you are keeping safe! And remember to check smoke alarms to make sure they’re not older than 10 years, or replace the ENTIRE alarm – not just the batteries! Tag ‘Kidde’ or use the hashtag #KiddePetPics!
Check out the latest edition of @NavigatorMag! Several of July's features and columns are available for free at thenavigatormagazine.com.
