Opening in 2003 through the generosity of a local businessman, are displays featuring recovered artifacts from 18th-century sunken ships. Model ships. Many artifacts (c. 1650 -1950) pertaining to the local history of the North Atlantic fisheries on the Grand Banks, including a dory, with complete fishing gear. Display on swordfishing. Lenses from the Louisbourg Lighthouse. An aquarium (a 300-gallon tank) with various saltwater marine species. The present collection essentially stems from that of Alex Storm, the famous diver and adventurer who discovered Le Chameau and other sunken treasures. Many of these artifacts were originally shown at his Atlantic Statiquarium Marine Museum (1960s - late 1980s) in Louisbourg. Today it has grown to include displays on 19th. century local businesses and a wonderful statue and display on Beryl Markham (1936), due in part to the generosity of the Ladies of ISA+21
