The Titanic Society of the Atlantic is based in Halifax, Nova Scotia — the Canadian city that bore the most direct responsibility for responding to the sinking of RMS Titanic in April 1912. It was to Halifax that the recovery ships CS Mackay-Bennett, CS Minia, SS Algerine, and CGS Montmagny returned with the bodies of 328 victims, and where many were buried in the city's three cemeteries.
Founded in 1995, the Society maintains close ties with the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, which holds one of the world's most important collections of Titanic artefacts and documentation. Its work focuses on the North Atlantic dimension of Titanic's story — the recovery operation, the Halifax connection, and the communities on both sides of the Atlantic whose lives were forever changed by the disaster.
As a member of the Historic Ships Network, the Titanic Society of the Atlantic brings a unique and deeply personal perspective to the global community dedicated to Titanic's memory.
