This camera is mounted on the Visitor Information Center on the Halifax Waterfront, in front of the
Maritime Museum of the Atlantic. It looks northwest directly at the nautical flagpole at the museum and down the boardwalk to the north. The museum wharves are on the right, the museum itself on the left.
Nova Scotia Webcams has more than 70 live cameras broadcasting in HD quality 24/7 year-round. Some update quite frequently, on the order of every 3 to 5 seconds, while others stream live video. To visit a webcam one needs to stand in the field of view for only 10 to 20 seconds to be assured of being captured on several frames. Then, at the webcam's web page one may play back that day's video to capture their image. Playback occurs at the rate of about one frame per second or, in some cases, more. Alternatively, if your phone or tablet is in your hand and tuned to the webcam, a wait of only a few seconds at most is required before you'll appear on your screen.
Maritime Museum of the Atlantic
Located in the heart of Halifax’s historic waterfront, there’s no better place to immerse yourself in Nova Scotia’s rich maritime heritage than the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic. From small craft boatbuilding to World War Convoys, the Days of Sail to the Age of Steam, the Titanic to the Halifax Explosion, you’ll discover the stories, events and people that have come to define Nova Scotia and its relationship with the sea.
The Halifax Waterfront is both a picturesque destination – and Nova Scotia’s most visited location. Sparkling water, a thriving downtown business core, a working port and harbour traffic combine to make this a natural meeting point for locals and tourists.
Waterfront Development aims to harness the potential of our unique waterfront resources by maximizing public access to the water’s edge and creating memorable spaces and experiences that enrich Nova Scotia’s cultural and economic opportunities year-round.
