The Lunenburg Marine Museum Society, through the Board of Directors, is a volunteer group that operates the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic and the schooner Bluenose II for the Province of Nova Scotia.
Established in 1972, members of this locally-based, non-profit society represent a wide range of marine and business experience. Their dedicated service to the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic and Bluenose II is well matched with their knowledge of vessel maintenance, engineering, fabrication, retail and accounting. Many members have long-standing family roots in aspects of our maritime heritage.
