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. |
