Hello. I was looking for any good sources for connections between Titanic and Halifax. Anything and everything.

Has anyone been to the Maritime/Titanic exhibit in Halifax? Is it worth seeing? I will be in Maine when it warms up and thought that being that close I might jump over to check it out. I've been to Belfast several times and South Hampton...various RMSTI exhibits and have enjoyed them all. Was...
