Tips from locals
A great little spot to learn about the largest marine disaster in the North Atlantic, prior to the Titanic. Artifacts, refreshments and more.
Museum, tea room and gift shop with no entry fee and community driven. The S.S. Atlantic sank off the coast in 1873 and was owned by the same company as the Titanic -- the White Star Line. There is a short trail down to the mass burial site from the museum building and it is a beautiful area to explore in its own right. Off the beaten path, so you aren't likely to find any bus tours there. Check out Sandy Cove Beach while you're there.
