CSS Acadia returns from refit in Shelburne

The retired Canadian Hydrographic Vessel CSS Acadia, also ex-HMCS ACADIA in two World Wars, returned to the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic today after a refit and inspection in Shelburne. She left Halifax in August. 

Acadia was towed from Shelburne to Halifax by the tug Atlantic Elm, and was then handed off to the harbour tug Atlantic Fir.
Atlantic Fir was rafted alongside Acadia and brought her up the harbour backwards.

Acadia looked very sharp with her new paint job.


Atlantic Elm escorted the two ships up the harbour after handing over the tow to Atlantic Fir.
