Renting the Museum for Film and Video Productions 
|
The Maritime Museum of the Atlantic maintains a 180 foot steamship from 1913, CSS Acadia, permanently berthed at the Museum's traditional wooden piers. A rare example of rivetted steel vessel with fine woodwork and well preserved Edwardian interiors, she is frequently in demand for film and video productions and has been used to represent all manner of vessels from the RMS Lusitania to wartime cargo ships, 19th century immigrant ships, a hospital ship and even a Japanese destroyer. The museum also has a number of authentic period spaces in its galleries such as a coastal schooner deckhouse, an 1890s Ship Chandlery, and 19th century Marine trades workshops. A daily location fee is charged for all film/video work at the Museum based on an eight hour day. An hourly overtime rate will be charged for filming beyond the eight hours or for extraordinary hours. For major projects a flat fee may be negotiated. Film and Video production is subject to the Nova Scotia Museum's Film/Video Production policy and producers must sign a Letter of Agreement.

Berthing at the Museum Wharves |
The museum's wharves are in the heart of Halifax's historic waterfront with restaurants, pubs, museums and galleries close at hand. Visiting boats share company with historic ships such as CSS Acadia, HMCS Sackville, (and Bluenose II when she is in town) as well as interesting visiting vessels from all over the world. Although marina facilities are not provided, restaurants, convenience stores and a laundromat are within walking distance. The wharves are open to the public 24 hours a day and boat owners must sign a berthing agreement and be responsible for their own vessel. A daily fee is charged.
Booking
Vessel owners should report to the Shipkeeper aboard CSS Acadia upon arrival to sign the Berthing Agreement.
