@coosacomposites' structural panels are strong, durable, & don't absorb water. They're 40–60% lighter than plywood & maintenance-free. 💪🪶

We're proud to carry Coosa's Bluewater & Nautical panels... and we're grateful for their generous support of our 2020/21 Dealer Show! 👏

It's hard to believe it's been 108 years since the sinking of RMS Titanic, and 35 years since oceanographers discovered its wreckage. 🛳️

It's even harder to believe it's been almost 23 years since Kate and Leo stole our hearts in James Cameron's epic romance! 💞🎥

[National Geographic @NatGeo]

#OnThisDay in 1985, oceanographers Robert Ballard and Jean-Louis Michel discovered the wreck of the #Titanic in the North Atlantic seabed

Piloting a container ship is not for the faint of heart! 😨

The KYOTO EXPRESS is 335m long and generates 93,323 HP! Most commercial GPS receivers today are usually accurate to around 5–10m. 🛰️

[Halifax Pilots @HalifaxPilots]

The 335m long KYOTO EXPRESS passes under the @hfxharbourbridges with clearance of 1.52m. To allow this to happen, it requires precise information provided to the Pilot from the Captain, as well as clearance with the @portofhalifax using an Air Gap Measurement System.#marinepilot

Celebrate Sea Serpent Day with the legend of Nova Scotia's very own mysterious 'wriggling' sea creature! 🌊🐍

[Nova Scotia Archives @NS_Archives]

What better way to celebrate National Sea Serpent Day than reading about Halifax's own 60ft monster that appeared in the Harbour in 1825?

Happy Birthday, Newfoundland—sort of... 🎂

On August 5, 1583, Humphrey Gilbert 'took possession' of Newfoundland for Queen Elizabeth I. 👑 This was the beginning of Britain's Overseas Empire. 🇬🇧
…
Gilbert was presented with a dog he called Stella, after the North Star. 🐕🌠

#DYK, the August holiday in Nova Scotia was partially intended to mark the completion of a new rail line in 1895. 🛤️ Unfortunately, the train was late—it didn't arrive until 1896! 🚂

Our office will be closed on August 3. We'll be back at 8 am on Tuesday... right on time! 🕗

Congratulations to our friends across the harbour at @Ship_Hector_HHQ!
